'85 rear axle into 81 benz - how hard?
What about the transfer of an '85 engine (turbo) to an '81 car?(non-turbo)
How hard would these swaps be. ie will the '85 engine mate to the '81 tranny and car?

but on second thought you might want to hook the turbo motor to a turbo tranny.

easy swap but some guy in a 1972 220D will leave you in the dust off the line.

Edit: Didn't realize it was a non-turbo. A 220 would probably have no issue passing a N/A with a 2.88!

Both are bolt in with very little modification. You should swap in both the engine and diff. The 81 does not have enough torque to use the 2.88 efficiently and the 85 will be revving very high on the highway with the 81's 3.46.

About the same, moving is what I meant. 5psi of boost on the highway at 65mph makes a significant difference.
