How difficult is it to put in a 300D turbo into a 240D manual ?

Is it worth putting a 300D Turbo engine into a 240D manual ? What would I have to change ? Would the fly wheel still be the same or would I have to source a new one ?

Would you recommend this ?

Kamil

Good Idea

I was pondering this myself...why rob peter to pay paul and destroy a 240D when you can just transplant your 300D engine into a 240D!

Question

I asked a Large MB shop in Miami this same question a few months back and he claims to have done this upgrade many times without much of a problem. I would like to see the longer term results myself say how is it functioning after 20000 miles.

Do a search on this site. It is pretty straightforward. You do have to use the manual tranny cars flywheel if I remember correctly.

Which adapter plate would I have to use if the 300D turbo is a 1984 and the 240D is from 1983.

I wonder if the driveshaft will have to be changed.

NO! This is a VERY bad idea!
