I've got a few things here to give you ideas. My daily is a 500hp turbo diesel saloon, there's a widebody twin turbo coupe here at the moment, and 2 others undergoing engine conversions. lots of cars and parts coming and going, I've got a 400hp twin turbo engine on a pallet if you want to build a real sleeper.

	The Merc m112 can be had up to a 3.7 litre, is all alloy so very light, and is also quite compact.

There is a used DMF for a m103 on German eBay, I might get that and work out a second solution with a valeo and custom pick ups. I'm sure a decent machine shop could fab them in. If it is from an m103 that will work perfectly, you wont need to play about with the sprinter conversion then. Unless you want to eliminate the dmf? Another idea would be to fit the auto flex plate complete with it's pickups behind the sprinter conversion flywheel. You would need to do some machine work to the sprinter flywheel, mainly removing the sprinter trigger wheel setup and machining circ 5mm from where it bolts to the crank.

In that case you don't need to worry about the cps magnet, either flywheel will bolt up and work. Just be wary of the ezl ignition module, they are a known weak point of that engine and very expensive to replace. One thing I will advise is not to use the normal 5 speed box on this engine, the ratio's don't suit it. Either use the getrag from the 190 cosworth, or get the 6 speed bolted to it. Can you confirm that the OM606 and the M104 engines share the same flywheel mounts? if so there is a place that makes sprinter single mass flywheel conversions (9in) that bolt to the OM606. I think this is hte case but before I go ordering.... They do indeed share the same flywheel bolt pattern, and I have one of the valeo solid flywheel conversion kit's bolted to my om606. BUT the diesel flywheel's don't have any ignition pickup points on them, so although it will all bolt up perfectly it wont run. I also have one of the valeo kit's on an m104 twin turbo, but that is running a standalone ecu so doesn't have the problem you will encounter. Where are you based?

Only things in Hughes yard now is a w124 e220 which I've had a few bits from and a a couple of w202's turning into rust. Nothing that you would need for your swap I'm afraid.

Just need to find a scrap yard with one to use next time I am in the UK, seems little chance I'll find one over here. If it helps, this is on ebay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MERCEDES-320-3-2-320-E-Dual-Mass-Flywheel-DMF-W124-124-032-220-10-92-06-93-M104-/400814083653?fits=Car+Make%3AMercedes-Benz&hash=item5d52618e45:g:TdcAAOSwQJhUdhkb Manual m104's are not very common in the breakers yards over here, I must admit to buying up any solid flywheels I can find for these engines. If your hunting the uk salvage yards, a w202 c280 will have the perfect flywheel and clutch setup for what you want to do. It is possible to use the solid m103 flywheel, but you need to drill a hole to fit the cps magnet from the auto flexplate.

Once you have the flywheel, you can get the correct gearbox to work with it.
