Yes it's possible. 463s come off the production line today in Graz with that engine installed, so all parts are available from MB.

You'll have to give your definition of "easy" in order for anyone to help with the subsequent question.

RE: 1991 320g engine swap sprinter engine

If you make the change, I would definitely like to know how it goes.

I'm planning on keeping my G320 until it dies. Then I plan to reincarnate it as a diesel

Check the EPC to see what trans comes with 270CDI in the G. You'll need to have the EPC for ordering parts for the swap anyway.

Or maybe someone here who has a 270CDI can say which trans is in it. Have you checked the transmission information page at 4x4abc.com?

You should use the 300TD I6 motor if it will fit.
