Looking for OM601 block or engine. - Jetmugg - 08-24-2017
Looking for a standard bore OM601 block or complete engine, preferably in the central USA.
Please let me know if you have something that will work.

why not something bigger?
RE: Looking for OM601 block or engine. - Jetmugg - 08-25-2017
....because I need to build an engine that fits into a 2 liter maximum displacement class for racing.

Isn't the om601 2.2 ltrs? They didn't offer the 2.0L the states. I got a running 1984 2.2 that maybe available. I'm in Los Angeles tho.
RE: Looking for OM601 block or engine. - Jetmugg - 08-25-2017
I have a 2L (84mm) crankshaft, which is what the 2.0 versions use.
What's the story on that engine? Is it in a car? How much $$?

I have no 1st hand knowledge of the condition of any of these cars! Just passing along some I found:

I just purchased the 190d to use as a transmission donor for my w124 wagon.
The engine starts but i haven't road tested it. It was used as a veggie conversion at one point. I'll have to get back to you on the mileage.
I was under the impression that that Mercedes bored the cylinders for the USA market. I looked into it to see if the om603 turbo piston would fit but came up short because the cylinders had a larger bore. Theyd fit in the 2.0 Euro engines.

OM601 should be 87mm bore. The difference between 2.0 and 2.2 versions is in the stroke of the crankshaft.

I see now that only '84 thru '86 190D are of the 2.2L persuasion here in the States.
1987 (only) had 2.5L turbo and '88 thru '93 had 2.5L N/A.
This info should help narrow the search for others.
Mind sharing what chassis this motor will be in? I'm not a competitor - just interested
RE: Looking for OM601 block or engine. - Jetmugg - 08-29-2017
It will be in a 1984 Dodge Rampage - not too many of them are MB diesel powered.

RE: Looking for OM601 block or engine. - Jetmugg - 08-29-2017
...or it may end up in my '73 Opel Manta.

I can't imagine they're in the same class. Either way it'll be friggin awesome!
Need a tow "vehicle"? This customized Ranchero has been for sale for well over a year and could probably be bought for under $2k. It's not mine because wifey forbade it.
