Captain,

Keep the diesel, buy the wife whatever, rebuild the turbo diesel, add an intercooler (Adds 20-24 more horses and durability.) drop in a 4 or 5 speed Mercedes manual transmission and you'll think you've bought a new car. If that's not enough horsepower, check out the website, www.diesel************************ . Using that unit, you can add another 40% power when you want it. Without adding a Flowmaster exhaust, that would put you up to 196 hp. Imagine the fun, using that HP when the rest of the world thinks your leadsled couldn't pull fish off a plate.

I'm working up just such a machine, only I much perfer the 123 Model diesels. We've converted three of them to 4 speeds and are searching for 5 speeds. Sorting out the intercoolers now and think it can be done with a combination of MB parts and virtually almost no cutting of the MB. With one of these conversions, you'll smile yourself silly!!!
