OM606 turbo from a '98 or '99 E300.  Keep the mechanical injection pump and the 
transmission in the recipient, take the engine with turbo and intercooler from 
the donor.  Nice power bump.

OM602 or 603 from a 300D or SDL would be the logical thing.  OM606 if 
ya find one.


Didn't Kaleb have that odd goobermnt surplus OM603?  Maybe from a unimog?


THen there's the SBC, or hemi or Cleveland Frod options   ...perkins...



What else could drop in there to replace the lump?

Yep; '91 350SDL (126); timing chain broke at 79 kmi; new chain and buncha 
stuff.  Then I drove it another ~125-130 kmi (don't remember 'zackly) 'til 
engine crapped out again.


Tim Crone has it; what's latest, Tim?

I doubt it if it's actually a 1994.
Wilton's car with the bad timing chain was a W126 I think.
There might have been a few 1992 W140s with the bad chains.

I'm thinking it might be interesting to put a 1999 24v turbo
and 5sp electronic trans from a W210 in it, but I bet there'd
be some interesting computer work involved to make it run and
shift properly.

Chevy has the oil pump on the wrong end, only front oil pump US  
engines fit around the cross member.  If you are going to bastardize  
it, use a Chrysler 440.
