If you have a source for all the right parts (which is probably more parts than you would think, i.e., you probably need to have a donor 240D that you are going to leave incapacitated), you should be able to make the swap. I found that out when I changed our 240D with an automatic transmission to a naturally-aspirated 300D with a manual transmission. With the major parts from a donor and smaller bits and wear items from Rusty, everything bolted right together and fit the chassis without problems.

Re: [MBZ] A request
Thanks Mitch, I accept. I should also say I thought the initial post in the thread was funny and appropriate-'what if he had been driving a Mercedes?'. That reminds me of the old days on this and predecessor lists when posters would go out of their way to note MB content in borderline OT posts. Those were creative and often funny .
