Hi all,
One of the options I keep pondering for the rusty 350SE is, rather than extensive body repair that it needs, just sticking the (good and low mileage) euro M116 engine into another, good body. The obvious choice is of course another w116; but it just occurred to me that the w123 uses the same(?) M110 engine as the w116, so does that mean that:
a) The M110 and M116 have the same mounting points, and thus by extension.....
b) An M116 could be put into a w123?
What about the transmission? Diff? Instruments?
This has been spurred on by this ad: AllClassifieds, although there is definately no rush - just a hypothetical at this stage.
