722.6 bellhousing.jpgnissanRE4R03Aimages.jpgnissanRE4R03Aimages2.jpg hiya guys. i apologise but am still looking into the OM606 engine swap before am beaten into the NADS solution. the 1st pictures is the bellhousing of the the mercedes engine/gearbox and the 2nd and 3rd pictures are for the nissan transmission pump and nissan bellhousing respectively. so you can understand why i think it should be a simple"ish" swap.

Having done engine swaps in the past the gear box adaptor is the simple part. Engine mounts, wiring, computer, fuel, air, exhaust, radiator, clearance - the list goes on. There is nothing "simple" about any engine swap. If you are still determined this is the mob I sourced a lot of parts and adaptors through.

Welcome to the forum.

If it was my vehicle, for piece of mind, I would get the engine thoroughly checked out. I would do a compression test, get a mechanic that has an inspection camera to check the piston tops and bores. Also I'd check that the intake manifold hasn't gummed up with soot from the EGR valve. That way you know that the engine is worth fitting NADS to or if an engine swap is necessary.
