[diesel_mercedes] Re : question re engine swaps

 

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 .

> 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.
