OM648 swap into a w123
We do not have the w210 e320 in the states and I thought about going this route with a w211 but it really is not cheaper if you have to buy a whole car and then getting the traction control and wheel speed sensors to all work is really not an easy thing to do.
I hope to make this a very simple swap for others to do in the future as well. The only reason I am holding out for the oe ecu is cost and you cannot beat factory tuning. If we get around the DAS then it is easy to repeat and a used ecu is fairly cheap. Combine this with a fully functioning standalone tcu and you have a complete engine driveline setup to put into any car. I am planning on making the original tcu work as well with an additional module that will be handling all the CAN messages to make it all work.
