Haven't been on for a while..but thought I'd ask after a search this morning.
I have a buddy doing a swap of a 300 mb turbo diesel into a nice 240d manual car.
He is not a member of the forum yet but he needs some info and some parts so I referred him to peachparts. We need some Links on the Conversion.
can you post any links that you think will help in his conversion. He is doing this swap outside in a cold Utah winter.
a.What about the witness marks on the crank -flywheel
b. tranny mount suggestions
c. linkage info on cutting and welding
d. does he need to change the rear end ratio?
e.. anything you might feel would help the swap
go together smoother.
He was first going to try to turbo the 240 but since picked up a 5cyl motor of a mid 80's 300td.
240d motor is out and the 5cyl ready to go in. I told him to hold off pulling the flywheels until I posted here.
Thanks and I'll forward this to him and monitor as things are posted.
Thanks in advance.
