OM648 swap into a w123
OM648 swap into a w123
The car already has a 722.6 in it with an om602. I have not decided if I will source a whole transmission or just buy a bellhousing. I will probably get a new transmission as the cost is not much different for a good used one. One way or the other it will be a 722.6. I was really amazed that the om648 has a different bolt pattern than the other Mercedes inline motors. Seems to be the only one. Looks really close until you slide a transmission up to it.
