The best engine
The best engine
Om606 with a mechanical pump would be my choice. Just need to find one for a decent price.
That's a tough call.
I would choose the OM606A.
But a close second would be OM642.920 if money is no object.
But on the cheap... OM617.95x.
besides being an interesting thread, i'm going to be taking some auto shop classes at my school in the next semester or two. they recommend you have an engine to rebuild - the sequence of the classes is a complete rebuild - everything - and they have pretty great equipment. i'm really partial to the 617 just because it's what i know, but i'm thinking maybe if i get this once-in-a-long-time chance to rebuild an engine properly for the cost of parts, it might make sense to consider my options.
whats teemu petolta running? 606? when are the fin bastards going to share their diesel secrets for big power?
edit: DAMN. 3.0 24V TD I6 177 PS (130 kW; 175 hp) 330 N·m (243 lb·ft) OM606A E300 Turbodiesel
I would go with 606A, or 605A as a close second if money was no object.
I like the V12, but what the hell you would put it in? A hotrod toy hauler? Rat rod Kenworth? LOL

OM605, would be my perfect choice.
I allready have the om605 turbo and this summer am going to try to get my hands on a om606 turbo and order a KKD manifold and myna pump
OM606.962, OM648.961 or just for grunt a OM629.9xx engine tho for the latter two it needs custom ECU's.
I don't like the sound in 603 and 606, so om617A is my engine of course

$70K !?!
I think I inadvertantly picked an NA 617 in my real life scenerio...
OM605 gets my vote, good size, reliable, very good for superturbo project and handles lot of punishment
Still OM617 is very nice engine that has taken my heart
for the time i'll stick to OM605 turbo my spare pump flyes to MYNA in mid May and by the end of June turbo Holset HX30 (or maybe a HX35w with http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/supra_2147_28572646.jpg to compensate for lag?)
and KKD motorsports manifold and MYNA Pump will be with me to be stored until end of Oktober so i can start working on my Gwagen again.And start following Jeemu's instractions!
Thanks for the input Jeemu!!
