OK...so I may have access to an OM642 V6 Mercedes Diesel engine out of a 2007 WK (if price is acceptable). For those folks that have attempted a conversion like this in the past several questions...
1) Should I also get the electronics, wiring harness, mcm, ignition as well?
2) Because of the electronics involved is this a crazy stupid idea?
3) What should be the vehicle?...I am leaning towards a JK but it may be better in a JKU. Wild hair would be a G500/550 or G320. The G320 came with the OM642 (in Europe) so it fits. I have seen some G320s for sale on the internet but again it would an expensive initial purchase plus the conversion.
4) Again is this a crazy stupid idea....
Again throw out some ideas....
