2001 Chevrolet Trailblazer Description

2001 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER WITH '83 MERCEDES TURBODIESEL ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROJECT. I REMOVED THE 4.0 6-CYL AND TRANS AND DROPPED IN PLACE THE OM617 5-CYL TURBODIESEL AND TRANSMISSION FROM A 1983 300TD. THE 617 IS THE BEST AND MOST RELIABLE DIESEL AVAILABLE, AND THIS ONE ONLY HAS 93K MILES ON IT. THESE ARE MILLION MILE ENGINES.
THE TRAILBLAZER 4.0 HAD A BAD ROD BEARING AND THE TRANS WAS SLIPPING, SO A NEW ENGINE/TRANS WERE NEEDED. THE 617 WAS THE CLEAR CHOICE AS THE SUMP IS IN THE SAME LOCATION AS THE 4.0. CLEAN INTERIOR, VERY STRAIGHT BODY, GOOD ORIGINAL PAINT. I HAVE THE RADIATORS (2) AND MB ENGINE OIL COOLER.
THE MOUNTS, LINKAGE, WIRING, DRIVESHAFT, EXHAUST, ETC NEED TO BE DONE. THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT FOR SOMEONE WANTING A DIESEL RWD TRUCK.TO BE 100% CLEAR, THE CHASSIS HAS 205K MILES. THE MB ENGINE AND TRANS HAVE 93K MILES.YOU MUST ARRANGE TRANSPORTATION. SHIPPING WITH A TRANSPORTER CAN BE VERY INEXPENSIVE THIS TIME OF YEAR BECAUSE OF ALL THE SEASONAL PEOPLE COMING DOWN FOR THE WINTER. MANY CAR TRANSPORTERS ARE FULL COMING SOUTH AND EMPTY GOING NORTH.
