You'll have to change the exhaust too. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Scordato Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 4:03 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: [MBZ] 1977 300D non turbo engine replacement Cross Roads
A few questions for the group please 1. Can a 1977 123 chassis take/accept an 617.9xx non turbo engine with out major modifications from the years 1978-1980 to last non turbo year? 2. What are the estimated hours to pull out existing 617.9xx engine, remove things such as alternators, refer compressors, ect. and then put a used motor into the car al the while attaching the ancillary stuff I just said and install the new engine. These would be the hours by a professional mechanic. 3. I assume, new tranny hoses, new lube oil hoses ect. while I am at it. 4. If you could share any experience you have. Is there a link for doing this job? I have located some used engines that have been compression tested and are in the 100K miles to 150K mile ranges, some which have been sitting for some time. I am at a cross roads on the path of deciding if the car is worth it. I do not have the "scope of supply" to do the job myself where I am located in life right now. Thanks in advance Tom Scordato _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
