Darn 3-wheel engine stands

bohico2xo,
Good info. I thought of putting an extra Mopar 273 engine I have in the Mercedes and forget the diesel $$$, but as you say the oil pan must drop in front to clear the K-frame. I didn't know Ford's are like that. Otherwise the 300D has nice features like IRS, 4-wheel disks, and a stout rear-end. Add 2 spokes to the emblem and it even looks like a pentastar.
