Hi MikeJRA, I remember seeing a 90 series Land Rover in Ireland several years ago,transplanted with a naturally aspirated OM617 and it was very successful.....if you succeed with a tuned version of the OM617 Turbo, you're going to have a runaway success and a far superior machine to drive. The Mercedes engine is a far superior,smoother more civilised powerplant. Those TDI land Rover engines(200 & 300) weren't great in service,hemorrhaging oil from every possible oil seal in the engine whilst being rather gutless at the lower end and agricultural to drive. Good luck in your endeavours and you will definitely have a successful outcome which will put a smile on your face everytime you turn the key!
