Hello,
I recently bought a 1981 240d w/ a bad motor off EBay last week. I have since pulled the bad motor and put in a motor of unknown condition from a local shop that the guy said "had a miss" but wasn't sure as it had been sitting for a few years. I installed that motor and it didn't have a miss, it had a rod knock. so...
Out came the 4cyl motor and I am about to drop in my 5cyl turbo that I have started and it runs perfectly. I decided to try to go that route becuase I thought it would be better for driveability and easier to find a 300 tranny and maybe rear-end.
My question is if anyone has a 300d tranny, either of the 722.3 or 722.4 variety? I'm also looking for the driveshaft, bowden cable, linkage and crossmember. I am willing to pay good money and drive pretty darn far to get it. I live in Meridian, MS and would drive up to 800 miles each way to pick this conversion stuff up.
Thanks, Adam Bush
