I'm thinking of putting a Mercedes diesel in my 94 S10, anyone know a guestament on length of the 240 and 300?

 

 

it will fit

 

Hey Dealwithit What did you use for a flywheel,saw your utube,sweet!

 

hey, i used the benz standard flywheel and a 240mm mazda flywheel, got them machined so one fits into the other and then i just use a mazda 240mm clutch disc, standard on all the turbo fwd mx6's. check my photobucket account, hit view all at the bottom and scroll down, its alittle ways down but it shows all the stuff with the flywheel and the adapter plate.

Hey thanks for the link,looks like your mind has more cool projects going on than time allows,I have that too! I am going to try to use od auto in cherokee but may go stick in the end. I take it the st benz flywheel is from a 240?

 

yes it is. i don't know how people use them on the turbo 5cyl (home done 4spd swaps) as they use like a 200mm clutch, its tiny

 

Yea, I found you on another site with all of your trial and error with the clutch. have you gotten any fuel mileage on the diesel? Looks like I am going with a cherokee and the aw4 auto, just have to figure out the electronics.

 

i haven't hit enough miles on the road yet to get any kind of mpg numbers. the truck hasn't ever been insured since i've owned it , it'll be on the road next summer for sure. i did get it out for a spin today for abit, it does have some decent power, maybe a tiny bit less than the stock gas engine would have had. i still need to adust the torque capsule, and add the propane, then go from there still a bunch of stuff to get done before then too

 

Thanks for the update! Keep us posted
