oops yeah,
I forgot about the engine mount arms--they are different and A/C lines definitely are different.
I have the complete donor engine, it started making some nasty noises that indicate a wrist pin or a broken piston/ring/who knows what. Compression on # 3 was 200 when the others were 320-380. It still ran the last time I started it, but for now it's just a rebuildable core.
I already bought new oil cooler lines and flex disks, and intend to replace all the usual leaky gaskets and turbo drain seals before I install it.
More to follow, not sure when. House takes precedence over car as long as my 300D is still running, and it's running well.
