hi all,
this is out of sheer curiosity for the moment, although if possible i would look into doing this in a few years.
has anyone seen or even heard of swapping an om617 from a w123 mercedes diesel into a z?
i like the idea of diesel engines because of their huge compression and low end torque, also the possibility of veggie oil convert with gas prices looking to reach $4/gal in less than a year in cali.
i know there are diesel swaps from the ld28 blocks but my dad had an 80's benz 300d and that thing ran forever, they are known for going over 500,000 miles.
i used the search tool and got no hits, maybe someone has some knowhow with the benz engine?
