I was at Partsource last night getting some front pads for my L400 and the parts guy tells me he had an L300 with a 4M40 motor in it. He stated it had a 2.8TD and that ir was a Special Edition Chamonix edition and that all Chamonix had the 2.8TD.
I called his tale a load of BS but again he was 100% convinced his L300 had the 2.8.
Someone confirm this or debunk it.
Did the L300 come with the 2.8TD????

Maybe someone in Japan did the swap and he didn't realize. The Chamonix's definitely didn't come with a 2.8.

I was told it would not physically fit.....
But, I was told Mercedes Diesel would not fit in my Jeep COE....but my grinder and welder said different...
They also told me I could not raise the roof on the Delica....but my grinder, circular saw, and welder said different (thanks Jay and Christine)....

Sounds like a load of horse-hockey to me.
Possible someone did a mod and dropped one in, but there was no 4M40 in the L300 that I have ever heard of from the factory.
