[diesel_mercedes] '85 sd driveline in '91 SDL?

 

I know the '85 driveline is different than my '84.. (something transmission related) Was it a "transistion" to the 6 cyl that they started doling out the next year??

After my '84 is rebuilt, I have to "come to a plan" with my '85 300SD.

Runs great, starts on the first cue, even after sitting for a month in the dead of winter..

...but it's a total rustbucket.

Obviously there aren't pictures, but if an "easy" driveline swap can be accomplished, this may be worth my dime..

O.K., this last tankful went 422 miles and returned 28.5 MPG .

4 Oz. MMO used, some AC use (the Wx. has been really wierd) , several seriously fast 0-Dark:30 speed runs on the freeway just because , blah blah blah .

It still smokes too much (leaves Diesel smoot on the trunk lid), one of these days I _will_ yank the injectors & pop test them , I have a possible lead on an affordable homade pop tester .
