I've got an '84 W123 sedan that was brought over from Germany. It is normally aspirated, so I was wondering about the differences between it and the 617's on U.S. versions. For instance, does it have the oil jets for the pistons? What was the output of this motor? I've seen claims that the Euro motors ran higher compression? It has over 350k on the (broken) clock and is leaking fairly badly from the rear main, but I don't want to throw away a jewel - - replacing it w/a U.S. turbo motor. I'd like to put a little, bitty turbocharger and intercooler on it to give it a little more top-end.... Any thoughts??
