It fits just fine with my 722.17 transmission, using the crossmember, shift linkage, trans cooler lines and front driveshaft from an older 300D (mine had a 722.118). The transmission cooler lines from the 300D didn't quite hug the oil pan like before - the turbo engine upper pan is different.

I've got it all hooked up now, and wanted to try to get oil pressure up before I fired it up. The injector lines are loose so no fuel will get in the chambers. I put 4 quarts of oil in, and poured some more in the filter housing. The dipstick shows at the lower mark.

But I can't get oil pressure more than a needle's width above zero while cranking it with the starter. It does rise from 0, but it seems like it should be more. The engine should be fine - it reported came from a rolled car, and it came out of the car in January. I replaced the oil pan as the old one was a bit bashed up, but the pickup seemed to be in good shape.

Fire it up? Prime the oil pump? Panic?
