Also, I have a question. Do you know if a 79 300D motor is interchangeable with an 84 300SD? Both are 5 cylinders. Or do you know of some resource that could tell me?

Not sure if it is compatible in all means that a turbo motor from a w123 is, but as far as I know you have to change the motor mount arms, oil filter housing, oil cooler lines (if it has one)and you'd have to swap the tail housings of the tranny to accept an electrical speedometer. But im not sure if the oil filter housings are compatible since one is for a turbocharged motor and the other is NA
