Transplanting om601 into 307d

[Spinneywitch]

Can I put an OM601 into a MB 307d camper van? Managed to seize the om616 that was in the van and replacements seem like hens teeth. I've been offered a running 208d and I'm wanting to know if it would be an "easy" transplant.

Thank you.

First thoughts are that the starter is on a different side between these two engines. So at the least you would need the gearbox and engine. Start to get complicated after that.

There is quite a lot if difference you would need the gearbox and I think the engine mounts are different I am sure we used 2 different tools to remove these engines as the mounts were different

Have you tried Crewe engines.

Think I tried Crewe, but I'll try again on Monday.
The donor vehicle is intact so I'd be able to take all the bits needed off it.
