Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2005 07:09:26 -0400 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. :'( Regards Steve Van Cleve Marrowstone Isl Wa "85" Euro 240D 5 spd 110K "79" 240D 5spd fresh tranny transplan "82" Euro 300 TD non turbo, project wagon "94" Dodge, 2500, 5 spd, 5.9 Cummins, 95K To: "Mercedes mailing list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Mercedes mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original MIME-Version: 1.0 Message: 13 A 240TD was available in Europe.

the 123lwb was also available with with the 240D engine, and it would have self leveling suspension as well. Dan & Sandy Steadman wrote: A 240TD was available in Europe.

Speaking as a 240D owner, why would you do that? On 9/27/05, David Goldsmith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi!

I don't think a tranny tuned for the five cylinder will work nicely with the 240D motor, although it might be possible to adjust it to work. The TD suspension will not work with a non TD engine, only the TD engines will have the facility to drive the hydraulic pump for the suspension. I believe somebody on this list got a euro 240D with towing package and wagon style suspension last year, but I don't think he'll be in a hurry to part it out.

The first stumbling block I can think of would be the lack of a 'wagon head' on the 240D's engine, which would require you doing something about the autolevelling rear suspension. K
