Anyone got a turbo rad I can buy?
Also this plan of the engine swap.....Anybody got a 5 speed manual that goes good with the swap?
Anyone live in the Chicago area that I can contract the swap to?
I am going away for a while in the summer and figure I can just leave the car with someone to take their time on the swap for me. I have big plans. Eyes are probably bigger than my belly as they say. Get the motor in with everything running right, later on, bigger turbo, modified injection pump, intercooler. I want a beast of a mercedes. Also those African market springs would be pretty great.
(02-10-2012, 12:59 PM)lgreeley83 I have a 240d 1978. The radiator just crapped out on me. Eventually I want to throw the 5 cylinder turbo motor in it. So while my radiator is dead I know later on I will need the bigger radiator, expansion, tank, maybe the oil cooler?

You have a part? Or are interested in getting paid to do my swap? Have you done the swap before? We should probably start pming each other.

Also I'm pretty sure the same person can get you a turbo radiator.
