Re: [MBZ] MB Engine Transplants?

Any MB Fahrtzoid 6zyl Diesel should be able to adequately power a peekup.   OM603, 606, and the newer V models shoould work.  Of course with the newer ones, you'd also have to transplant the black boxes and deal with nannies until you could get it to run. BTW, Fahrtzoit is your word of the

Re: [MBZ] MB Engine Transplants?

I've never been all that excited about the power to weight ratio of a 617 in stock form. I'd want to wind it up a bit for use in a truck. A 60x would probably be a better choice. Jeep guys use mostly TDI engines because they're teeny by comparison. Even the old VE engines can do 150hp with

Re: [MBZ] MB Engine Transplants?

I've thought about an OM617 in my 2004 Frontier. It's a V6 4WD with a 5-speed. The gearing seems about right based on engine RPMs at the shift points. In the specific case of my Frontier, though, it's too rusty for me to want to invest that much work in it. Also there's nothing wrong with its V6

Re: [MBZ] MB Engine Transplants?

I’m not surprised that someone has marinized a Mercedes diesel, but I wouldn’t expect them to be terribly popular due to the limited output. I’ve never worked with propulsion engines in a boat but I’ve done lots of work with marine generators, which aren’t a lot different as far as the

Re: [MBZ] MB Engine Transplants?

There is a company in Scandinavia that has kits for marinzing for Mercedes diesels. Its not too uncommon to see 602s as marine engines in Europe. But they're fairly low output compared to any engine we'd find here in the states in most boats. Its hard to compete with a Mercuriser V8 in terms of

Re: [MBZ] MB Engine Transplants?

“Marinizing” an engine, that is, making it suitable to operate in a boat, is a very tricky business and typically involves some serious modifications to an engine, primarily in the cooling and exhaust systems. A water cooled exhaust manifold would be required, along with a heat exchanger

Re: [MBZ] MB Engine Transplants?

That's smarter, all the donor parts could be of value. Much easier to transport to your transplant location. Consider using an OM603 or OM606 turbo engine, which can provide a lot of the torque needed to move a pickup in a more satisfactory manner. An OM606 turbo would need a mechanical

Re: [MBZ] MB Engine Transplants?

The G300D had a 617, I would guess that thing is about the same weight as a Chebby peekup, which is to say it was a dog from what I have seen, but the 4WD setup would make it pretty much unstoppable.  Probably would be OK in a P/U with proper gearing for a farm truck but for everyday use
