1999 E300 Diesel engine swap?
Good evening all,
I have a 1999 E300 Diesel that may need an engine swap. Is it possible to swap the non-turbo engine into the turbo engine car and adapt it to become a turbo engine? Is there a good source for a used turbo engine? Thank you Ron

Check car-part.com. Looks like $1000-2000. These are popular engines for 4x4 swaps so you have competition.
There are a couple of running cars for under $2500 on the opposite coast from you, hence my original suggestion. What broke? Sixto 98 E320s sedan and wagon 02 C320 wagon

None I noticed the increase in acceleration and the excessive smoke. I coasted off the highway and it shut down. I have changed the oil and filled it to the proper level. The glow plugs have been changed, intake cleaned after this happened.

There's some cheap E300s going for around 1500

Sounds to me like a little more investigative work could help before changing an engine
Can you turn the crank by hand?

Well that's a good sign
Does the starter spin it at the usual starting speed? (i.e. could you do a compression test?)

Hey ron did you ever get around to seeing if it has any compression by rotating the crank bolt )27mm)

Ron, I'm interested in your problem! It sounds like you have your hands full. But could you explain a bit further, like how you had "too much oil" and if it really went down with too much oil, how much over do you think it was. Further explanation of yours is "that it was accelerating fast and blew tons of black smoke. Sounds to me like you might have blown a piston, but that is a pretty noisy deal, usually there is no doubt when that happens. Was there engine oil dripping out of the engine, I mean like oil over every where when you stopped. Just trying to get a better grip on your problem.
