It has been a long time - but your VIN number has a lot of info for you (where and when it was built, what it is, etc). There are databases available too. And, try Wickepedia. Search your model and year and you will find a lot of information. Get the Haynes manual too. And use Google a lot. Many ways to find the information you are after.

Is there anywhere I can look up the block numbers to see what was put in this car in has a four speed tranny that I figure is stock. From what I have found it should be a three speed auto,not a four speed. I found this set of numbers,(617 912 12 077612) dose this tell me if it has any thing or is it just the number of the one build that day back in 1979.

I earlier wrote on this topic that a one-time poster here, and acknowledged MB diesel guru, known as "Stretch", installed a turbo on a four-cylinder 240D.  Indeed, one of the things he did was to machine the holes in the block to drop in the piston cooler jets.  He did that because none of the four-cylinder cars ever had a turbo, and so neither the piston coolers, and he wanted to prove a 240D could be turbocharged without sacrificing reliability, if done correctly.  I doubt he would ever have considered installing piston cooler jets into a normally aspirated five-cylinder block in order to turbo it; there're just too many turbo-engines out there for cheap that are already properly set up.

But, to answer your question:  Yes, the normally aspirated and turbo blocks have the same crankshaft journals and oiling passages, but for the piston cooling jet holes.  In fact, the journals are even shared with the 240D....

So, what's wrong with this parts engine?

The 300D engine I have would it have the same oil journals board in it as the turbo engine I have found good parts so far I have a great running engine just trying to see if I can work with what I got, or keep up the R&D I have found a parts engine I can get all the stuff I may need to turbo this running car, well good luck with your projects.
