The 1982 TD engine that now powers "Mary" was "fixed" with a homemade 1/4" metal plate that fits over the "hydraulic hole" - no problemo. Just make sure you use a gasket and seal under the plate if you do this.

John,
The TD head is wagon specific. But the sedan engine will take a TD head, if you're putting it into a wagon. The difference is in the accommodation for a hydraulic pump that serves the rear suspension system (not present on the SD sedans).

A light bulb just came on for me. Is the head for a 123 300TD wagon the same as the head for a 300SD Sedan? I would imagine that it might be for a turbo engine, but maybe not for a NA engine. I am possibly going to be on the lookout for a 1980 wagon head to put on a sedan engine I have to go in a wagon, so this may widen the possibilities of where to look.
