A friend of mine has an 85 300SD he was given. The motor was run without oil and is very damaged, tho it still runs on 4 cylinders. Has ABS, alarm, and memory on the driver's seat. No airbag.

Southern car, no rust. Faded Diamond Blue paint over a faded Pebble leather interior.

VIN is WDBCB20C2FA153171

Here's the picture I have:



Contact Brian @ 314 302 7163. Title is in hand. FREE. He wants it gone! Car is just outside St. Louis Missouri.

Thanks,

-Jason

I have a complete engine/drivetrain from an '86 SDL. I wonder how hard it would be to stuff it in that car?

You'd need a custom driveshaft made up.

Amazed this isn't gone yet. Someone needs to take it. Remember... it's FREE! To quote Brian: "The first person here with a trailer and a PULSE can take it!"

I'm thinking probably not so much on the "need a custom driveshaft", ever heard of a 350SD? I'd be willing to bet it would fit, work fine.


Anyone here have any idea if the transmission output shaft on the 300SD transmission has the same dia / splines as the 300SDL transmission? I'd be willing to bet it is, even if it isn't, I'd guess unbolting the drive shaft from the transmission end at the flex disc, swap those ends.
I know what someone will say next: The six is a longer engine, the whole engine/trans package will sit farther back, hence a need for a shorter drive shaft. I would think any good drive shaft shop should be able to handle shortening it. Shortening drive shafts is a whole lot easier, not to mention cheaper than "stretching" one!

yeah, ok, some would argue that means it's a "custom drive shaft" now So go find one from a 350SD.

I thought the 300Sdl was a longer body than a 300 Sd. That might be the driveshaft issue.
