OM603 into a 95 E300D

[benzguy300]

I have a 95 E300D with a bad engine and I have a good 603 I know it fits the only problem that I see is idle control do you guys see any more problems?

If the electronics left over from the OM606 engine are still in the '95 chassis, you may be able to connect them to the idle control of the 603 IP. If not, you can get along without electronic idle control. There shouldn't be any other problems. Please post results (lots of pictures).

The oil pan got hit by big rock it can be rebuilt but it is to expensive around $1500.

1500 or 15000? for about 1,500 I think you may wind up spending about that fitting the older engine in the car then it would cost to fix the original one

I forgot about this thread That I started. I'm happy with my E300D with a 603 and a 5 speed manual transmission it has 50K miles after the engine was rebuilt and it did not cost me 1500 or 15000 it didn't cost me extra money to fit it because the 606 and the 603 share the same block I used all the original accessories from the 606 engine I took pictures but I downloaded into my old computer and it broke so I lost the pictures. I getting 35 miles per gallon combine city and highway

Sounds about right. The 603t/5spd makes an excellent combination and its a whole lot quicker than the 606na.
