where to get a om617.952 motor - MrZ32 - 08-27-2011
G'day Fellas,
in australia the only motor that was sold over here was the non turbo diesel motor, so getting one over here is near on impossible.
Does anyone know a website where i would be able to find an OM617.952 motor? I am restoring my grandfathers car W123 300D non turbo (passed on to me when he died, he had it from new), i love the thing but i want some more grunt (hence the turbo motor).
Cheers
James

http://www.mercedesengines.net/default.asp ? Dunno if they'd actually do it. It'd cost another couple $K to ship it over of course.

thanks very much for that, very useful and may be the route that I take.
I should have clarified earlier though, after a second hand motor (i will end up stripping it down and doing it all myself). Does anyone know of a wrecker or something that sells motors online? Where do you guys source your motors?
Cheers

From the u-pick-it. Or from entire parts cars. Both being cheaper than places that ship (they typically want more than a thousand).
Here, try these people:

I had a good experience with ^ those guys (sun valley Mercedes), pleasant to deal with, he responded to my email in minutes and the whole transaction went well. Bought a door with everything in and on it for 200 bucks shipped from there to Cleveland, completely rust and dent free. A bit expensive but worth it IMO

I recently came across a post from an outfit in Australia that was selling off several surplus 617 turbo engines that were originally configured for the hagglund. I can't find the post now but you might want to do a search

car-parts.com <- This is the web front end for the hollander interchange. Pretty much every junkyard/dismantler in US is on here.
