The engine is the OM617 (5 cyl) turbo. The engine came from a 1982 300 SD.

Hulkgreen, I am in the preliminary stages of putting an om617 into a late model cherokee... By preliminary I mean that I have everything needed to complete the conversion except fabbed up motor mounts (1993 Jeep cherokee 4x4 w/ax-15, 1985 MB 300SD, 4x4labs conversion kit)...
Anyway my questions are, how are you going work out your throttle control? Are you just going to fab up a bracket to utilize the original jeep cable?
Also, for power steering did you just braze the jeep hoses to the MB pump, or buy some kind of adapter fittings?
And lastly, for operating the jeep vacuum stuff (mainly brake booster) did you just plumb everything straight into the MB vacuum pump, or did you utilize all the matter of restrictors and check valves like what was factory installed on your MB donor vehicle? And if not, did directly plumbing everything affect the MB engine shut off operation?
Thanks in advance
