I have a Euro "82" 300TD that I am putting a 616 engine and manual tranny
into, since I have the 240TD badge installed guess I'll have to carry on
:-). the leveling system uses a generic convertible (top) hydraulic
pump. The engine & tranny should drip right in. The pedal assembly is all
set up. The total weight of the wagon should be slightly over 100 lbs MORE
than the sedan so she wont be too bad with a manny tranny but might be
kind of a dog with an automatic. :'(

A 240TD was available in Europe. You would need a head with a pump for the
auto leveling system, a driveshaft and speedo. I believe the differential
ratio is also different.

Hi! What body type and transmission would a '79 300TD
wagon have and would either of these require
substantial modification to use an '82 240D engine?
Thanks!
DG
