Clearing throat here...eh...soon be a serious headache? It'll be a headache sooner than you think. Lots of stuff to figure out. ME? Never again. If you have experience, time, money, something else to drive and patience go for it. Otherwise it's so not worth it. Sure wish I had checked my original motor before I jumped off the cliff into that project.

Sort of......
The trannies are different , the '83 W-126 having an electric speedometer and different tranny linkages than does the older W-116 chassis .
At the very least you'll have to swap the entire drivetrain , engine and tranny or this will soon be a serious headache .

Brad Asked :

> will a 83 300 SD turbo motor swap into a 79 300D (NA) body without too much trouble? Both are slushboxes. I have an SD with a rotten frame but good motor and a guy is offering a 79 that is in good condition but with bad motor.
