WTB: engine donor car for om617 swap (SouthWestern US, or North America)
Id like to find a wrecked or rusted out or even parted out car with a known good/great condition om617.....
I would prefer an 85 but will consider any turbo. I am not too concerned about accessories as many of them I will be replacing or rebuilding no matter what. I do however need it to be complete and have very good compression. Do need: block complete: head and valvetrain complete IP and Injectors Turbo esp if kkk vacuum pump motor mount arms instrument cluster with working everything but speedo doesn't matter tach amp and sensor ect. Fuel filter and pump oil cooler oil filter housing Power steering pump air filter housing and brackets Glow plug and Relay Battery tray and hold down bracket Flywheel still attached Not having been removed In case someone has already started pulling parts from a car I Basically DONT need Intake or exhaust alternator ac compressor (do need brackets) bell housing transmission any not listed body parts (bumpers doors panels) any interior parts exhaust steering rack or box I am in Santa Fe New Mexico but may be driving to North Carolina and central Virginia via southern Georgia in a few months which would cover a lot of ground.... Email or Post works best, PMs get lost often. Rjz5400@hotmail.com

back on the hunt, One closer to northern New Mexico would be great. I'll be on the east coast this summer; but it is pretty far. for EST cars I'd like to pull all the parts in place and put it all in my pickup bed, trailer, or van interior...... or drive it home to do it here.
rusted, wrecked, bad tires, no interior, no body, or doors all fine! if it could drive here and have a great motor ill buy it. I would also consider towing a car home if I had to.

Your best bet might be to buy a two or three cheap om617 vehicles and rebuild the motor your self. You'll be able to get the compression you want and presumably leak free. Otherwise your looking for the gem that happened to have a rebuilt motor but the trans went out or it was in a rear ended badly and totaled.
check out search tempest to find a them.

Well if I could find 2-3 cars with om617s that were cheap I wouldn't be looking with this thread, HAH.
the ones I'm finding in a reasonable distance are 3K-6K$ and any @ $2k or less are like 350K miles, ran well when parked. needs tow, firm 1800. I know when the time comes I can drive a few thousand miles or sacrifice my needs a bit but I'm casually looking for a "diamond in the rough" until then

Sounds good ridgerunner, I usually go through southern georgia and then up to coastal NC, but I will get in touch (if I am still looking) this summer closer to my trip and we can figure something out.
Thanks for keeping me posted.

I have an '82 donor in Utah if you're still needing it. It was my primary 300D until I found a nicer one. Runs and drives, 207k miles.
