Driveshaft Swap?????
Anyone know if a 4 flange drive shaft , say from a 95 E420, would fit on my 95 E300D with a 3 flange drive shaft trans and Diff. Just wondering if the flanges have the same splines, length, threads etc...also does the Diff. have the same gear ratio?

No it will not fit every thing is different between the E300D and the E420 even the front brakes the 95 E300D rear gear ratio is 2.87 I know I have one the E420 I think is 2.25 I also have one

Thanks for the info! It's too bad that even the axle shafts won't fit, they look much more robust than the smaller ones. Oh well. maybe I could swap a diesel engine into an E420...just kidding.

everything is different, but many parts can be swapped onto the 300D chassis. it's the same body. I don't know if you can put a 4 point connector on the D transmission or not, but you can swap the subframe, diff, axles, brakes, control arms etc onto the D the car will be sluggish off the line, and you'll need to swap the speedometer over as well. *(and paint the unleaded fuel only words off of it...)
