I am looking for a cherry 240D stick with a sunroof for myself but starting to consider other options since these seem to be rare. There seem to be a lot more 300D/300D Turbos out there (like my wife's) that are in great condition. I am considering converting one of these to stick.

I came across a cheap manual gearbox and flywheel out of a 220D. Of course, I know I will have a lot of other parts to come up with, but will these bolt up to a OM617 block?
