WOW! Thanks for all the response to my passing remark about putting a
different engine in my 240D! BTW, I saw that video a couple of weeks ago
with the VW Bus outrunning the Porsche 993 - if you've ever driven a VW Bus
you'll know what a change in personality that is! From slower than a 240D
auto with AC on in the heat of summer, to AMG tricked out speeds.
Incredible.
DOn't know what (if anything) I'll do to the 240D. Right now, the engine is
perfect and the body is 90% perfect - but I think a W123 300D Turbo is
probably the best option.
Does the 300D T use a different AT than my 240D? I guess it might depend on
the donor 300?

Jim,
If you donate the 617 turbo, I'll do the conversion and document the "how
to." Otherwise, i'll have to use the NA one I have.

Much less trouble, and of far more interest to most of us, is putting
a 300D turbo engine in instead. Lots of rust/wrecks out there still.
