Mercedes 300D Marine Conversion.
Have any of you guys come across a marine conversion for a Mercedes 300D motor?
The torque specs, HP, max RPM's are very similar to the Cummins Mercruiser 1.7L motor. I know that these motors can go 400K+ in the cars and used motors at the junkyards out here are around $500/each
I know nothing about diesels, i/o's or inboards
What is involved in converting a car engine to a marine engine?
Cooling?
Corrosion?
Gearbox or outdrive mating?
Exhaust Manifold?
