You should be able to use a flywheel from a manual OM621 (200D) or
something like a M180 (220 Sb) those have the counter weight and
could be balanced to the 617 flywheel.

You have to have a drive shaft basically custom made for it.

One from a 240D should work.

What about the tranny mount crossmember? Do you need to get
one from a 300D euro manny? (BTW, I'm pretty sure the euro/manny
driveshaft would work a

If one was to undertake this conversion, and given a suitable donor

Probably. And maybe not even that. The engine 'grows' towards
the front, usually.

The flywheel is the tough part. Since the OM617 is _not_
internally balanced and the OM616 _is_, the right way to do the
job is to have non-balanced flywheel that compensates for the
engine imbalance.
Mathieu J. Cama and
However, if you did use a turbo 617, wouldn't it start from a stop the
same as a non-turbo engine, then benefit from the increased torque/HP?
Yes, but it would fall off boost at each shift. Also, emissions
are very poor at those times, reputedly another reason they didn't
ever make turbo

There is more space between the rear of the 616 block and the firewall
than there is with a 617, so I think they balanced the block on the
mounts, or at least

I've been thinking more about my off-hand remark when we were
talking about home generators, that I should pull the 616 from
the 240D (manual tranny) and use it to spin a gen head, and
put a 617 in the 240D. It's been said that MB
