I am attempting to swap a 300c turbo motor and trans into a 300 td,I put it in last weekend and it bolted right in,there are a few diffs between the two I need to address however, aside from the sls, the trans plug was different but the number of wires were the same could I simply get away w/ splicing it in? What does this wiring control, I assume its back up lights and the lock up torque converter. Does this model have a lock up t/c? also the wires are similar in color but 2 of them are a larger gauge on the 83 but the others are the same color andgauge.Does the 83 have a pcm somewhereI need to dig out that controls shift points? Lastly the glow plug sys on the 80 is different, there is one morepin on the 80than onthe 83, on both sides of the module, they are hooked together (I took it apart and looked) its marked "b" I was hoping to ignore that wire and swap over the 83 module since all the other markings match up(15,50 la and so on) any ideas thoughts or past experiances would be very much appreciated. Thank You.

 

Thanx Forced,that makes things easier. I havent made up my mind yet about the sls problem, There are a few suggestions in this forum that suggest some shocks,mercedes source has a $400 kit, somebody told me I could put sd springs in, Any ideas?

 

Yea, Its sags just sitting there empty, Its seems like the air shocks would work, (they did on my elcaminoanyway) Ive seen tds @ my local pick a part and Iguess if nothing works I could swap the head, but Im a real cheapskate,the sd springs would be real cheap route, but I definitley cant ignore the the problem
