Good question... I'm not sure, but since the 300TD is cast iron and quite a bit larger than a WBX, I would assume that it is substantially heavier. I also doubt that a 300TD would fit in a Vanagon engine bay. Cheers, Jeff

How much heavier is the 300TD engine? Thanks, Rob www.robandmelstravelpage.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2002 13:12:29 -0800 From: Jeffrey Schwaia <jeff@TSSGI.COM> Subject: Re: Mercedes 5cyl 300TD in vanagon?
But I agree that it's too heavy for a Vanagon. |
