The seller has a bunch of other ones too
-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )

I paid 120 for my 2056V back in 08. You can get 2256Vs and 2056Vs cheap look on multiple craigslists
Didn't check the ebay listings (I'm on the phone) but ball bearings are good. I'm scared by anything that talks about "Stage ##" upgrades.

09-22-2012, 09:19 PM #4The 2056V is on the small side, but it's easier to find sometimes-they often list them as "M53" turbos because there's a big M53 casting mark on the compressor housing

I'm also thinking about buying an old truck that is simple to work on, to replace one of our newer trucks that have computers and smog crap and are unpleasant to work on

What's your inspection/emission cutoff? Get an old exempt Ranger, and toss in a fuel injected 2.3L or 2.5L. Dependable as a rock, and twice as slow.

09-24-2012, 09:17 PM #9I think emissions cutoff here is '76 or something. As for the Ranger, I have an '84 just chillin' in the back yard, and today an executive decision was made by my pop and I that the 2.3 gasser is coming out, and a 617 will be taking its place. So I am now in the market for a 617, and any info about similar swaps would be helpful too, or at least about the mating of ford transmission to mercedes engine. I probably should start a thread about it lol

09-25-2012, 07:22 AM #10I found out that the Ford flywheel is a bitch-you'll have to make an adapter or use another flywheel. If you want to go nutty on is run an escort flywheel and a mustang/ranger disk-it's like 8 lbs lighter.. Using the 84 body will make it easy, the torsion bar suspension lifts easily.

09-27-2012, 01:01 AM #11Nothing wrong with the 2.3, just needs to have the timing belt put back on. and probably carb. rebuilt. Yeah I need to get an engine lift soon so I can do all of this stuff. That or a couple of pulleys and use our sturdiest tree. I see a trip to harbor freight this weekend.

09-27-2012, 07:04 AM #12CL a lift, don't tree it. Put that 2.3 on a lift, toss in rods/rings/roller rockers, port the head, and slap a tubro on it for like 250-300hp
