OM617A into a 124?

...I have been given a decent TE with a dead gas motor, a couple of my favourite 5-cylinder diesels in the shed and I'm wondering...

heck, if there's room for a 603, why not?

Anyone done this or thought about it?

FWIW, no matter what, keeping the SLS. The TE is blauschwartz over black leather, an '88...same as my SEC :)

You're stuck using whatever transmission accompanies the 617, since the bellhousings used throughout the 124 engine range are incompatible. Almost nothing is configured to fit correctly, so you're left to figure out how to modify every step of the process. Clearly a big job, but I've seen it done.
