What to buy? 300D or 300SD? Same engine?

Does anyone know if the 85 300D is the same engine as the 85 300SD? I am trying to make a decision here -- I know of 2 - 300D's with 90k to 120k and a 300SD with the same mileage.

Anybody with thoughts in this area would be appreciated.

I made that exact swap

The engines are fairly interchangeable, but you will have to do some minor rewiring (gauges and such a tad bit different). Did the same swap in my 300D, and the new engine runs like a dream.
