Im sorry for my use of english in this forum, but my German writing is very poor...
There is no problem in reading German, so do not feel obligated to write English if you can answer!
My problem is a 1978 MB trac 800 (Grey(White)/Red).
The engine is kaputt, makes a terrible noise, and consumes a lot of oil. The engine is a OM 314, and the gearbox has shifters between the legs.
A man I know has an MB 711D (1986) with a good engine, but the engine is a OM 364 with turbo and about 120ps(?). The rest of the car is trash! The car has just passed 131.000km.
As the engine is very cheap, I started wondering if it is possible to fit it to my old 800?
And when I am sitting here writing: Is it possible to modify this gearbox so the trac will go 75km/h+?
