Default Best recommendations for a 240

I have been in the middle of contemplating a few things,
How do i get better power,
which swap would be the most recommended,

i could step up to the 617,
and if i were to do that, would my 4spd man. bolt up.
also what is the highest horsepower levels and torque known?
any goals,
fuel economy is not a worry, im looking more for the power aspect,


or hypethetically speaking, if
i were to go through and drop a small block ford or chevy,
possibly AMG, what and where would you recommend???

Wanting better power aspects,

Sell the car and start with an 87 300D.
do you know where i can find one? or much less how much would my 240 go for?

1982

mileage is unknown, approx. 365k. ive had the car for over 2 years and have made multiple trips to Ft. Knox, Ft. Sill, Ft. Gordon, and Ft. Bragg. The odometer stopped working about 2 months after i got it.

absolutely no documentation, im an ASE mechanic, i do all my own work.

car has minor rust on the rear quarter panels, minor rust on the floor panels, but all the same, i am also a certified bodyman/painter.

ive sort of been in the trade everywhere, im a car guy.

You can find one in your local auto trader, eBay, newspaper, craigslist and many other places. Value of a 240D is anywhere between $600-4500 depending on year, condition, miles, documentation and rust. We would need to have more info on your car to give a narrower range.
