After driving a Mercedes W123 240d 4 speed for almost 10 years, I have decided it's time to swap in an engine with more power. (stock 67HP / 113 ft/lbs) I like the M30 for its power, reliability, and availability.
I need to know what is the bare minimum to get the M30 to run. I want to use motronic because it's what is most available. I know early M30s came with carbs and conventional distributors, but sourcing those bits for cheap won't be easy. I know I'll need the harness and DME, but don't know what inputs the DME absolutely requires to run.
So being as my Mercedes only has 12vdc from the ignition, No high pressure fuel pump. or any electronic speed sensor. What will it take to get the M30 to run in the benzo?
