1971 Mercedes 280S with OM617 idling in cold weather

Hi,

you emailed me ages ago about my OM617 into 108 project. Finally found an engine to replace the one that died 3 days after the conversion. Can I see what sort of set-up you've got for the engine mounts and any other vibration absorption? Would love to hear all the other details of your putting-diesels-where-they-don­'t-belong projects so far.

Google for "fat franz" and you'll find my blog that has tons of pictures of both cars, including engine mount setup. Have used two approaches, since it's a hack job neither one is more correct than the other, do as you like and good luck :)
