You should be able to find a Mercedes recycler near you. Give some thought to using a Mercedes Diesel 300 Turbo and transmission package. The engine fits and works really well. A local guy is powering his IH with the 300td.
I had a 300 NA here because it was free. I gave it away. the 300 td or non turbo will perform better that the original lazy iron lump. Diesel gives you and your truck street cred. The 240 Diesel is not enough power. There was a 240 turbo but it had problems.
The 4 cylinder 240 vibrates. The 5 cylinder 300 engine has over lap and is smooth running. My wife drove a Mercedes with a 240 Diesel. We sold the car when it has 1.2 million kilometers.
