for free.. Well, pretty much just need to verify and go pick it up..

All I know is its a 90's mercedes turbo diesel that was being put into a boat. Its out of a car not a marine engine.


So, just thinking before I get it.. what should I do with it if it turns out I am indeed getting it.. Should I sell it or put it in something lol

Key notes

I have access to a Mazak machine, water jet, engineering software out the wazoo, laser cutter, and a dimensional printer. So I can pretty much make anything as long as I do the CAD and buy the metal.

Time machine man....you got the tools for it. Then you can post a sweet ad in your local paper like this:

lol.. I kinda want to put a diesel in a delorean... a northstar, 2jz turbo, porsche motor, Chevy 350 has been done.. I dont see why not an om 603 or w/e it is... I have access to one of those cnc machines so anything I need is as easy as paying for the materials and doing the engineering on my time.

Sending you a PM buddy....

Hey TheDon.
Put the diesel engine in an air boat or find a car that needs that engine.

now where am I going to park an airbarge in my neighborhood. I dont even have a use for an airboat.. I'm more of an open water kind of guy.. ya know saltwater.. I dont fish or hunt from a boat in freshwater..

Does it have electronic controls? Can it fit into an F150?

Who said it was going to be in your neighborhood?

I was thinking.......since you don't have a place to park your 300SDL inside, you could make a barge; build a big air conditioned garage\workshop on it. You could park is on any large body of public water.....then you would have a place OUTSIDE your neighborhood to strip parts, redo cars, and work on your "boat".

I think the potential is there, TheDon. I know you could find an old barge around somewhere......

yeah.. im not rich and i dont have tons of credit..

My suggestion was what others have done, put it into a jeep and keep the 4x4. Especially if Don has access to a cutter.

I didn't post it here, as I knew he and I would banter back and forth a bit, and it would clutter up the thread.

I like the idea of an F150 diesel
