Need an answer right away!!!
I was wondering if you can put a suspension leveling pump onto an engine from a car without a leveling pump. Donor car is a 79 300D, recipient car is a 79 300TD. Any listing that I can find on the engine shows them both having a 617.912 engine. What drives the hydraulic pump?? And can it be transferred over to the donor engine.
Need to know ASAP!! Thanks in advance! Brandon |

Pump is attached to the cylinder head and is driven by the intermediate gear in the head. I believe their is a casting difference on the heads in this area. The hydraulic pump mounts to a machined surface and is secured with four bolts.
Worse case you swap cylinder heads. |

Yeah, you would have to swap the heads as well. I just re-read your question and I got confused. Are you saying that the engine in the '79 300D has a leveling system and you want to use it's pump on the TD, which I presume has a bad hyd pump. I don't recall the sedan 300Ds having a leveling system.

Thank you guys a whole bunch for your help. I think that I'll wait until a 300TD engine is found. Don't really want to do that much work.
Thanks again!! Brandon |
