Recently read a note asking about putting a W123 300D into a 350SDL
rodbender on another forum - the short answer given was - "yes, it;s an
easy change".
Has anyone tried this? Is it an easy change as they said? Seems like a
reasonable way to save a W140 that has exhibited its terminal rod problems.
W123 300Ds are pretty reasonable now a-days and once the engine and
ancilliary parts were removed the remainder could be parted out/sold, making
it a zero cost option - depending on cost and proceeds from selling stuff.
Curious - I think there's some W140s out there that have gotten the dreaded
"Need a rebuild" comment from their technician and they might want to just
be rid of it.
BTW, would the donor engine mate to the W140 tranny easily? Or perhaps the
donor car needs to provide the engine *and* tranny??
Thx -
