I think they are neat and all, but I see more than a few go through the auction on the back of a tow truck because they either need transmission work or some other major repair, and they just aren't worth what it costs to fix them.
If I could remove the turbo and get the motor to work stand alone and mount up to a different transmission

Then the reliability issues would be fixed! LoL too bad MB stuff won't run without all the bells and whistles, 80's tech is so much simpler.

That MB motor would be sweet inside my subaru 360, especially without the turbo and a proper shiftable transmission with the right cogs.

Ah well.
