Also I can not use the heavier flywheel with the iron trans? I have an iron trans from a w115 280 and was thinking of the 300D flywheel, so stay with the 240 flywheel?

Thanks,

I haven't put it on a dyno, it's not really a high priority right now. The turbo spools reasonably fast but it also has too high of gearing with the 3.69 so it runs out of revs very quickly in any gear which is the reason I want to find a 3.07 to drop into it. You would probably want the 85 style triple-K turbo with the higher mount and that presumably would clear the frame rail. It does have a 300D turbo oil cooler and a brand new triple core copper radiator to deal with the heat which does build up rather quickly. It doesn't have piston oil squirters but it was either deal with the faster wear or don't do it at all at the time.
