(with the trans for a turbo) its always fun how many things you can do with a new toy when you get it, o and my other question both the front seats look very close to the same with they interchange from left to right the drivers seat in this car is in sad shape and our local junk yard has a 300D with a good passengers seat but the drivers in it is also jun, looks like the rust repair panels are pretty cheap all in all for 200 bucks cant beat it

Congrats on the purchase! I'll bet my buddy's bottom dollar you need a chain tensioner. And what's more if you've got slack you can "feel" in the chain, then it has probably jumped a tooth. I've never heard a motor run with a bad tensioner, but I would imagine it'd sound pretty bad. I wouldn't run it much until you figure that out. You can pretty easily eyeball the cam timing with the valve cover off. A 617 turbo will bolt in pretty easy, but IIWM, I'd try to see if you can get that original motor figured out on the cheap.
