I received an offer of a cylinder head from a 300td to swap out on my 1985
300td wagon with the sedan engine and incorrect head. The point of this
exercise is to restore the car to a true wagon with a functioning self

You are using a mechanic? I bet you go broke trying to keep that thing

old cars, you either need to have alot of money, or drive a honda, no
offense to anyone of course.
