retrofit to 300TD
a crazy thought, but would like to know if anyone has put a later diesel engine into a 300TD (i have an '83 wagon).
Don't bother to tell me it's a crazy thought, i know it. But would like to know if anyone has tried (what happened)? Jim

I almost bought an om603 to put in my w123.. It will work.. but it requires $$$
not that much but the engine, fabrication, and time
