Good info, thanks alot!

I agree about the NA to turbo building. I had read that the turbo engines were very, very rare so, I thought that I might be able to do it but it is probably too expensive as well.

I do not want to insult any of you Benz people but the vehicle that I want to put the engine and trans into is not a Mercedes at all. Hence the need for the engine, trans and all electricals. A wrecker most likely!

Matt, thanks for the tip on the vacuum pump. I guess I would find that when I start pulling all the wiring out of this "future wrecker".
