    Finally got some time to work on this project some more. Built some custom fuel line fittings Got the fuel lines all ran Got the clutch all hooked up with a stainless line Will be building a snorkle for this since i have to do a custom intake anyways. The start of the snorkle My inline air filter for the snorkle I couldnt figure out how to get rid of both the tranny computer and the ecm so i ordered a complete Painless Wiring harness

    Got some more done on the radiator hoses. I had to modify the thermostat housing and put the inlet on the opposite side. modified thermostat housing thermostat housing installed lower radiator hose I'm working on the heater hoses next and will post pics when they are done.

    The aftermarket track bar i had on there was bent is the only reason i went with another bent one, although when i built it i bent it out of 1"OD 1/4" wall tubing so if i have a problem I will have to go stronger with chromoly tubing. and the track bar mount when i built the new track bar the frame mount i dropped it down so i can run a drop pitman arm and not get bumpsteer

    Power wise theres not as much choice for aftermarket support but weight wise the 4bt is a much heavier motor which i don't feel the dana 30 front axle and the unibody chassis design can support.

    Well the few advantages i liked of this diesel was the overall size is very comparable to the 6cyl. They are know for running forever and parts availability is good because there are a ton of these old cars sitting in junk yards because no one really wants an old luxury car. And its a fully mechanical motor with no computers.

    Havent got too much done lately have been busy with other projects and work but did get a new track bar made to clear the oil pan. I'm trying to figure out how carried away i want to get with the wiring as far as trying to rewire everything or just use a stock harness and make the thing run. New pitman arm is in the mail on the way to give me some more clearance for the oil pan. New track bar installed

    Passenger side mount Passenger side mount Motor bolted in

    Yes the HO is harder to find but i havent had the best luck with the 4.0s since this 4.0 i took out isnt the original motor. And after the fuse block shorted out and caught fire i had to replace the whole underhood wiring harness i figured just tear it down and try something different.
  14. 91dieseljeep
    Yes it is his adapter kit he makes as well as the oil pan although i wish i would have done my own oil pan. Something different and i like diesels. Just throughout the build keep in mind I'm only 19 and doing the entire swap and fabrication entirely by myself. :thumbsup:

    Well i started one with some pictures i had taken along the way. http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32798

    Well i decided to start a build thread on this on going project. Its currently got a RE 6.5 lift, 34-9.50 tsl's, custom bumper i built, dana 44 rear, dana 30 hp non d/s front, aw4. I'm swapping in a OM617 turbo diesel mated to a ax15. Starting the tear down. Pulling it apart. Out with the old the donor car my ax15 and transfer case that i traded strait across for my aw4 :banana: the bell housing and crank adapter. new clutch mounted drivers side motor mount Passenger side motor mount Drivers side Mount Drivers side drivers side Working on the Passenger side mounts now.

    Yes there really isnt a good sorce for the pitman arm for under $100 but at this point it will solve my steering problem so its worth it. And yes the track bar mount will have to be dropped to keep the gtrack bar and drag link parallel. No i don't have a build thread I'm kinda new to this site although i have thought about making one.

    As far as compressors go what ever you do stay away from the oil-free compressors unless you just want a temporary throw away compressor. By far the best compressor is Ingersol-Rand with Quincy following close behind, they have the best pumps around which if you think about it the pump is the pare that really separates one compressor from any other because a tank is a tank not much to that, and the motor they do have better ones like a Baldor but there isnt a lot of choices there. Of course you also pay for this quality, and alot of people don't feel like spending that much for just an air compressor. Thats were CL comes in handy because alot of the time you can buy a used I-R or Quincy and be money ahead and have alot better compressor in the long run.

    Yes those will work together i have the exact same axle combination as that and have not noticed any negative aspects of being .01 difference between the front and rear.

    As far as the front sump i got my steering to clear with a 3" drop pitman arm and now i just have to figure out about the track bar. It gave me some extra room to work with using this narrowed oil pan http://mercedesdiesel4x4.com/default.aspx I have the motor mounts built for the drivers side and just the passenger side left.

    As far as which motor to swap in the 5.2 would most likely be considerably easier mostly due to the front sump on the 617. I am in the middle of doing this swap and am having problems trying to get everything to clear. Plus you already have the 5.2 and parts are everywhere in the junkyard for that motor.
