OK, so maybe I missed it, but what is wrong with the engine that is in
the car now?

Instead of putting the 617 in at this point, I would strip the car to
bare metal and kill every last tin worm hole or mark. The amount of
effort I put into Gump is commensurate with her purchase price and
effort expended. As I put more elbow grease, I will no doubt up the

Unfortunately, I just let a '75 300D get away that was one of the possible

so I guess it won't work!
I really appreciate
The only thing that would be of concern is if the hood line is lower on
the coupe than the sedan, making the engine too tall. A person would
probably just have to measure the height of the engine to see. If would
have to be a 617 from a 75 or 76 300D though, which would be hard to
find. You
I think it was John from Texas who has put a 617 engine into a 114
chassis - sig is Ajaguar ? Haven't sen any posts from him in a few
days - must be our driving one of his Benz's.

Mike,
My $0.02, as long as the engine was installed in a 115 before, it will
install in a 114. You may have to deal with firewall and torque items, but
as Ed points out, a cherry body 250 and a rust bucket 300D with motor
within spec 616 engine, and you are golden

Anything to get rid of the garbage PRV V-6 they came with... the main
flaw in an otherwise terrific car, several owners have told me.

Well, first, let me thank you for at least giving me SOME sort of answer. I
appreciate it!
I guess I was speaking/writing from my experience on a couple of other lists
I am on. I am on an old Toyota Celicas list, and on an IHC (International
Harvesters) list. Both of these forums ar
Not sure if the hook up for the early 300D is going to be issue with an
older w115. From the stuff I find at the PnP, an old 616 with the pull
start will fit pretty easy in your 250c
My guess for how to attack it, would involve removing the dash. This
alone will dissuade most people. Think
Mike,
Let me let you in on a galactic secret *anything* is possible :)
There is no such limit as impossible, only highly improbable. I've
seen really really odd things. (and I mean really odd)

Well, not sure if I will ever get the chance! I have not gotten ANY
feedback from anyone here that has done it or even said it was possible!
I figured someone would have done this before, or some mechanic that is on
thelist would know or something. Unfortunately for me I am not in an

If you get the brass ones to go ahead, let me know how it works out,

I am curious as to the possibility of swapping engines in Mercedes vehicles.
I have the 250C I have been discussing the carbs in, but have seen a couple
of 300D wrecks with supposedly not bad miles on the engine around here
lately. I would love to convert mine, but was wondering if this was
