We have experience with a variety of diesel swaps in Mercedes
and non-Mercedes vehicles, including:
OEM Mercedes Swaps, in which the original motor is replaced with the same
motor, are fairly straightforward and are usually 20-35 hours of labor and
about $300-$500 in additional parts.
Mercedes Conversions, in which the original motor is replaced with a different
Mercedes motor, are slightly more complicated and are usually 30-50 hours of
labor and about $1500-$3000 in additional parts.
Non-Mercedes Conversions, in which the motor in a non-Mercedes is replaced with
a Mercedes motor, are slightly more complicated and are usually 30-50 hours of
labor and about $1500-$3000 in additional parts.
Our current shop rate is only $90/hr—compare at about
$120/hr in most major cities.
