Chip,
Can be done, the original gear box and 4X4 transfer box unit in place. The
MB is expensive here new fan to flywheel from MB and for parts. However the
Musso (Sang Yang) has all but the same engine and is all but as reliable.
Needs the injector pipes held better in braces to stop the lines cra
A MB from a 240D (I believe) will bolt right to a 3.0 litre 5 banger.

I've also heard of people putting perkins diesels in old ford trucks.
I saw an F-100 for sale recently with a 4.5 liter perkins. Couldn't
go over 40mph, but got 20mpg, and was probably great for towing.

Sounds like a great idea to me. I bet you'd loose some top end power
on the highway, but gain some low end torque, and probably get 50%
better mileage too. I've heard of someone doing this in a toyota
pickup (wonder how they handled the weight of a 300TD in that?), and
said it had much more power
with early 80s mercedes turbo diesel.
I have a ford F150 4x4 standard bed pickup that
I want to keep, and a Mercedes 300td that I don't
necessarily want to keep.
THe ford has the good ole dino-bone burning F300
straight-six engine, and that Mercedes 5 cylinder
diesel *might* make a decent re-powe
