I wouldn't bother changing the diff, the top gear ratio of the 4 speed is
the same as the auto box, so your highway gearing won't change. Unless you

The S500 may need a new MAF. I happen to have a MAF on the shelf. It’s a
different part number, but close, used on an S420. Physically, it’s the same

I always said I wished my 200D had a turbo, a sunroof and a taller

always felt it was hard on the engine to maintain the high rpm for

Those air cooled engines have two major flaws for your application.
Weak to non-existent heat.
Valve adjustment interval is every 2500 miles, IIRC. That means laying on the
cold wet ground in the winter, if you don't have a garage, or a lift.

I did it, though I changed from a 240D to a 300D in the process (that's
why it's really a 240D/3.0).

I've never used a small 220v machine,I took a class where we had nice Miller
