w115 Engine swap
Quick Question - Can I remove the engine(dead motor) from a '75 W115 300D and replace with a long block turbo OM617 (will not be using turbo set up-just long block minus turbo) and then swap over all the W115 specifics, oil filter housing, IP,manifolds etc,motor mount arms, etc. Easy or is there something I am forgetting? Thanks!

1975 300D Wouldn't Start
After approximately 2 weeks of sitting, I started my 75 300D for a few minutes to move another out of the garage. Then about 1/2 hour later I started again to move back in the garage (ran engine for no more than 2 minutes). Next morning she wouldn't start. Would crank and blow black smoke (more than normal) but wouldn't start. Pushed out and let sit in the sun for an hour. Restarted, runs fine.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

1976 300D wont shut off
I have to push the "Stop engine" lever under the hood to shut the engine off. I have owned the car for 10 years without this happening. It has now occurred twice today. Should I be looking for a mechanical malfunction or an electrical connection?
Best Regards,
Eric
