OM617 engine mounts, fit OM606?
Hi!
I'm doing an engine swap from OM617 to OM606 (see link in signature for project thread). When I removed the OM617 out of the W460 I was surprised to see the design of the engine mounts. They weren't in level? Is this normal, and how things are in 123:s as well? The truck was originally an M110, but the OM617 came from an S123, so I wonder if this is a home made or G specific design. How have you guys handled engine swaps from OM617:s to OM603/OM606s when it comes to engine mounts? Thanks in advance!

Those mounts look awfully similar to w123/w126 transmission mounts.
 w123 OM617 mounts look like this.  I'd keep the 606 mounts if I were you.

In almost all cases you're going to need to fabricate your own motor mounts....well technically not the mounts, but the engine support arms and possibly the chassis mounting points. The joys of an engine swap include these little engineering and fabrication projects.
I happened to be the one exception to this rule as I was swapping a 617 into a 107 chassis. The 107 and 115 shared the same front subframe so just had to get a set of 115 support arms at the junk yard...sometimes it's better to be lucky than good

Indeed it looks like the tranny mounts on display. Thanks a bunch for info, grinding and welding it is...

It might be a long shot, but since the 606 was put into the G wagen you might be able to find the right mounts. Just make sure the engine is at the correct angle.
 Added: Looking through this guy's photobucket shows the 606 with similar mounts to what you had in there. Maybe you could locate the engine arms that would be unique to the G wagen  http://smg.photobucket.com/user/diesel_jim/media/MB-GW/G460%20280GE/Engine%20install/DSC_1797_zpsuqhzk2al.jpg.html

Thanks! Good find! I'll do some measuring this weekend.
