Engine Swap Question.
I am fairly new to this Mercedes engine swap stuff so I have questions. I searched the forum and really hadn't had my questions answered. So...
Of the two, which swap is friendlier to the chassis of my '80 240D- small Ford or Small Chevy. I am not opposed to cutting pans if really neccesary. I'd rather install the Chevy. Any particular transmission? I have seen more Chevy swaps than Fords evethough it makes sense that the Ford would fit better (oil pan). Why the Chevy then? Outside of part availibity/cost/being a Chevy? Pictures or links to pictures would be great! Thanks for your help. |

Ford powered Mercedes
Hello
when i was 15 i bought my w123, my dad helped teach me how to do a conversion. i was given a ford 3.0 from my at the time best friends parents. since then it has been reworked and is being supercharged this winter. its feels pretty well balanced and has given no problems in seven years of use. if you want more info just email me. we had to make all the mounts, relocate the ecu, make a drive shaft, ect.ect. jake the only thing to go was the starter motor. ford~$56 mb~$200 so as a college kid this helped out a bit. |
