Just to be precise, the 4 cylnider motor in a 123 230TE is a M102, the M103
is it's bigger 6 cylinder brother with the KE-jetronic fuel delivery system
(and was never fitted to the 123 chasis).
Also the M102 in the 201 chassis is KE injected while the M102 in the 123 is
K-jetronic, so there are going to be difficulties in putting a later M102
into a 123.
However it is possible to fit a diesel out of a wreck and put it into a nice
station wagen body, that is what you pay the money for in the old merc
market good bodies.

For Andrews info, the 103 in a 123 chassis is rare in the US. And they
are kind of neat since if you need a new engine there are plenty of
190's around with that engine.

I don't get it. The 300TD turbodiesel is the best Mercedes ever

that will need at least a valve job in <200K miles?
Its for the rest of the world that does not think like you do.
