Hey Guys, I'm a newjack and I was wondering if anyone has done an engine swap of a 5 cylinder to a 6 cylinder diesel in a 126 body.
A friend of mine just gave me a 1990 350SDL w/187k miles and I have an available 617OM with 167k miles motor and wonder if it is worthwhile to do a swap. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated

 

I thought that the earlier diesel motors were better and more reliable.
