Wouldnt it be as good, along with been alot easier to put in these smaller cars as the M117/19/20 while providing the same power to weight ratio.
Tho after saying that, having a AMG V12 with a 5speed manual......well u cant beat that  . unless u add afew turbos to the V8 with the extra room in the engine bay lol |
Yes, an m113 is noticeably smaller than an m117. If you could get it to run, a 4.3L m113 (from a C43) or a 5.4L for that matter would be the perfect fit and match for a w201. Far better than an m119 IMHO
