I'm seriously considering swapping an 83 300D engine/tranny into my 81 300D non-turbo.

How feasible is this?

E.g, would there be a different differential for a turbo?

Would the engine and transmission mounts be the same?

Is the driveline the same?

And then there are the speedometer/tachometer issues- is this taken off the transmission, requiring a new speedo?

Can a non-turbo radiator handle a turbo engine?

And so on ....

My goal is to have quicker acceleration, avoiding those annoying rear ender situations. Does a turbo have much boost lag?
