Mine is a complete 85 745 DT and I use a greasecar kit. I switched the ZF tranny to a M46 with o/d. Good luck on finding the parts !! I recently converted a 92 745 Turbo to diesel using another D24T with ZF that I got out of a beat up 85 diesel sedan. That hulk is gone but I still have the front springs if you need them. It turns out the 92 wagon gasser had the same springs. Steve Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.

(I'm in VA) I converted a d24-powered 245 to b230f some years back. While most of the diesel-related parts--and the car itself--are long-gone, IIRC the actual fuel tanks (gas and diesel) were identical--it was the pumps and fuel level senders that were different. The diesel wiring was also pretty straight forward--you could probably build a harness if you were unable to find one in suitable condition (the insulation on the one in our 83 was completed rotted away). You may want to check out the "green books" (tech pubs) at the following: http://www.k-jet.org/documents/greenbooks/200-series/ For example, the 1981 wiring diagrams include some of the diesel information you'll need to do the conversion: http://www.k-jet.org/files/greenbooks/TP30316-1_wiring_digrams_1981_all_models_part_1.pdf and http://www.k-jet.org/files/greenbooks/TP30316-1_wiring_digrams_1981_all_models_part_2.pdf Also, D24 engine maintenance-related: http://www.k-jet.org/files/greenbooks/TP30420-1_d20_d24_repairs_part_1.pdf and http://www.k-jet.org/files/greenbooks/TP30420-1_d20_d24_repairs_part_2.pdf D24 engine reconditioning-related: http://www.k-jet.org/files/greenbooks/TP30224-2_d20_d24_reconditioning.pdf IIRC, the diesel 240s had unique front springs to accomodate the heavier engine. They also had the vented front brakes for the same reason. Ours had the BW (55?) 3-speed auto transmission. I'd look for a manual box instead. Good luck with your diesel!

If you think you might need them, let me know and I'll look for them. Good luck with your diesel conversion!

I have an 86 244 Diesel thats in running(barely) condition. It was my wifes car and after being stranded several times this winter she's had it with the diesel cold start. We found her an 87 740GLE with only 86K on the clock that she loves. So she gave me the go ahead on the V8 swap. Let me know what need. In the past six months its gotten a new Interstate battery, a fuel pump rebuild, and new glow plugs. I think that either the cold start function is off or the fuel pump timing has jumped. email me and let me know what you what you'd like to trade. Oh and it is 4sp OD car.
