I have sold my 1987 190D and and still have my 1986 190e that was purchased with the intent of converting the 190D. My daily driver is the 33k 1995 E300D and i am trying to figure out what is required that is not on the 190e for converting the E300D.

What i currently understand:
1. need to get a flywheel from a 300 series because of mag pickup.
2. need longer driveshaft (can i get the front half of a 300??) (would rather bolt on than have to extend)
3. Rear diff should be fine as i think mine is a 3.46 (can someone confirm?)

anyone have any wisdom on this swap? i have searched the forum and have read about the W210 conversion, which i hope is easier on my w124. After the swap I will have the auto trans for sale (only 34k miles on it).

cheers
