Narrowing your search for a 30 year old engine based on a couple specific (IMO unimportant) characteristics seems like splitting hairs to me. Any OM617 Turbo with good compression (you NEED to know the compression before dishing out cash, unless you get a super bargain) will suit your needs. Ideally an 85 would do, but I'd shoot anywhere from 82-85, there are a lot out there. You should have no problem finding a rusty car with a good engine, depending on location.
