[MBZ] W210 V-8 pumpkin

Would this fit other cars, say a 124?  Would my existing half-shafts
bolt up to it?

How would I know if it's limited-slip?

I'm thinking it might be a nice upgrade for my '87 300D---the ratio
change would slow the car down some (not a big deal to me) but I would
guesstimate it would improve highway MPG well into the consistent
mid-30s.

That's a question that I'm sure Dave M. has answered.

Maybe you can find it on his web page, or you can email him.

I bet you're right.

Unfortunately I should have Googled before I posted.  Seems the stock
'87 300D diff is a 2.79.  Not worth changing---I thought it was over 3
like a 300E.

Unless he's recycled them, Kaleb has a nice supply of differentials - he
can probably set you up with whatever ratio you want ---
