In a w115 240 or w123? I'm putting this one together. It's a1975 240d w115. As of now I have found the 300dw115 motor mounts on eBay, but I've gotta talk him down off 38 and 55 for them I hope. So plan is thr stock 4 speed in it on the (edit 1984 wagon)300tdt om617. I can't recall what year it is this second. Not sure if the 300sd 84 85 exhaust he was talking about that would clear the framerail is the same in a 300tdt. So here's what I gather could be issues but don't know 100%.
1. Is the 617.952 300sd the same oil pan in my w123 wagon? Will I have clearance issues on the subframe with factory 5 cyl w115 mounts?
2. How much do the driveshaft and shift rods have to be shortened?
3. Is the stock rad and smaller oil cooler up to the job?
4. Will the AC compressor fit low driver side like it is stock on the 617.952? And will it jive with the older system ok?
5. Will my current 4 cyl pull knob GP power supply be sufficient for the 5cyl?
I figure I can rig a manual vaccum valve or a solenoid to kill it.
All I can think of at the moment.
Oh, so you reccomended having the torque converter and flexplate checked on the donor engine and have the 240d flywheel balanced the same? So mark them both at tdc to reinstall? Was the crank really balanced with the torque converter by Mercedes? That sounds crazy.
