Speaking of used, inexpensive older MB's, there an '85 380SEL with a bad
engine for $500 -- what would be an appropriate diesel to replace the gas
engine with? Would a engine from a 300D turbo be a direct replacement? -
maybe a 85-91 ?? Just weighing the options --

A complete '85 OM617.95 engine transmission would drop pretty well in,
but the electrics, fuel supply and cooling system would require some
effort. If you had two cars side by side it might not be too difficult.
But to collect all the needed parts before the fact would be VERY
challenging. The newer engines ('86-'87 OM603.96/OM603.97 engines) would
be even more of a challenge and might require major structural alterations!
