I purchased a 1985 300d 617.952 motor. I would like to transplant into a 1981 300sd. Will it work? If it will work what do I need to know? Any tips and tricks? Any parts need to come off the old motor? Thanks in advanced for all your help!
Just got done pulling the intake/exhaust manifold and noticed what appears to be a relatively small leak from the head gasket (see photo).

My question is, how serious is this? As far as I know, this is the remnants of an old leak that happened 20 years ago and hasn't leaked since...no idea though. Engine has right at 200K mi. on it.
I am a new member to this website, recently purchased a 1984 300D, great condition, lots of miles though, around 290k. everything works great including sun roof. The only inoperable thing is car is cruise control, any advice, what I should start looking for. Thanks
The plate that holds the tail light bulb sockets has one empty hole which lines up with a red lens cover on the tail light lens. I want to add a brake light socket and bulb in that opening to increase brake visability, which is not the brightest on the older MB. But, I read somewhere that if you do not use the proper brakelight bulbs, it will mess up the cruise control, and if I add two bulbs, will it mess it up.
the car has sat for 3 months. when I took it for a ride today the tranny wouldnt shift out of 1st gear. It has always shifted fine untill now. the fluid was low so I topped it off with no change. were do I start ?
