When considering the manual swap into either the W123 or W126 car with an OM61X engine, the critical issue will be sourcing the driveshaft, trans crossmember, and the linkages.

I've done several trans swaps in the past, and most is a plug and play. The bodies are preconfigured for any combination, but the above mentioned stuff is unique to each combination, and can be unobtainium......
