Just pulled a 4cyl, extremely low mile Mercedes 4cyl and 7 speed auto and full harness from a totaled Sprinter Van. Got the noggin turning. Anybody have a good reason not to go down this rabbit hole?
Next (non Toyota) diesel swap?

Other than having to sort out that intimidating wire harness....nope.
What sort of power and torque does that motor produce?

That harness doesn’t look like much really.
12 valve cummins. No wires all the power.
and double the weight
Meh. I don’t get the attraction. Black smoke is fun?

If you're blowing smoke with a diesel, you may as well be chopping up 100$ bills and snorting them through 100$ bills. A well tuned diesel engine will always be preferred, at least until electrics are up to speed. The Diesel cycle is just inherently more efficient, unfortunately there are a bunch of damn kids and old Chrysler engineers who have given them a bad name.

Hope you have the correct year/model EWD.

Will that go up much if you throw away that Urea oven?
The sole problem I see would be to attach the transfer (center diff)
Short answer, no.
DEF has really nothing to do with the power it puts out.
The DPF on the other hand yes. But this is a rather small engine and you can't expect miracles out of it.
20-30 more HP at the most and that's pushing it.
Torque around 300.
Running without and emission restrictions and a computer tune should get you there.
185-190 HP and roughly 300-320 TQ all on stock internals.
