Well if your 80 240 is like ours, you have the small unpainted aluminum Oil Cooler. Both of the hoses connect to the bottom. I don`t know how the Cooler would attach to the Turbo Radiator. it would be best to source a Turbo Oil Cooler from PNP. they are around $20.

The Turbo Cooler is attached to the Radiator top and bottom with a bracket and one bolt. ( one bracket top and one on the bottom, each with their bolt)

So your 240 hoses would not work, unless you can figure out how to attach the 240`s Cooler.

Start looking at other peoples 300D`s at how the expansion tank is mounted. you might be able to remove some brackets from a parts car, or even make some.

You will need the hose from the Expansion tank to the bottom of the Radiator.

If you decide to use a Turbo cooler, then there is the hose problem, buy new, source some used ones. or do as mach4 did with his SL Diesel swap.

These are some ideas.

Another option is to source another 240D Radiator, and sell the Turbo one. I think this would be the cheaper way to go.


Only you know how you want your car to look..........However, if you decide to swap in a 617.952 engine, then the radiator and expansion tank is already waiting for it.
