Yeah. Your ratios are good for an OM636. One of the weaknesses of these Benz engines (especially the normally aspirated ones) is poor low-RPM torque. You'll need the gears. At least it will drive the accessories without a speed-up pulley.
You can get decent torque from a OM617, but that requires a VNT turbo from a Sprinter and turning the ALDA way up.
How much does a OM636 weigh?
