Yes the oil filter cannister will probly collide with steerage. AC compressor will interfere with 110 undercarriage too. And which bell housing and tranny are you using? There will probly be discrepancy in driveshaft length and tranny mounts if you use the 240D tranny. But if you combine the 240 engine with existing tranny there might be a problem with throwout bearing length of travel. And you will probably need a custom exhaust lead to the headers. Also accelerator linkage will have to be mated.

PE Haiges on this forum attempted such a swap, he said the oil filter can could be replaced with remote oil filter mounted on firewall. Seek out PE Haiges, he can tell you more than i can.
