[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']This is going to be a saga of a build as dollars are tight and the to-do list is long, but I thought this forum is the most applicable to the swap. I'll be swapping in a 1984 Mercedes 300D engine into our(wife's car mostly) 1988 Grand Wagoneer. I have a parts car for all the mock-up work, and then will swap the assembly into our driver once running. Other upgrades during swap;
*Electric water pump
*Intercooler?--top or front mount
*Electric driven Air Conditioning
*100+ amp alternator
*Modified belt drive for 6 or 8 groove serpentine and automatic tensioner
*May try using stock auto tranny for now...almost free to try, compared with ~$2500 to change whole driveline with adapters.
Maybe more as I go. The stock 360 runs fine and the a/c works, so we're in no huge hurry, but this will be a fun project I look forward to working on all fall and winter, and I'll post pics as I get things done.
