I also used to have a 300TD (why on earth did I get rid of it?) and one
day I measured the 300 engine and my 109 (4 cyl) engine bay. You'd have
to do MAJOR work to get the 300 engine in there. And I think that engine
would have tons of power for highway use, and even accelleration (as I
remember, the 300TD is over 1000 lbs. heavier than a 109SW!), but off
road it would suck, which seems to defeat the main reason for putting in
a diesel.
