The W123 MUST be a turbo, the NA 300D will swap to a W123 240D, though.
Best bet is to check for a radiator online and see if the part numbers match....

I tried that originally and couldn't find 116 radiator part numbers. I did just find them in a thread here and they are indeed different.
BUT, I also found that the 116 radiators were brass? The one I pulled from the 116 I parted was all plastic. It did have an engine from a 82 300D, I wonder if they swapped the radiator when they swapped engines? If they did then the 300D radiators will work in a 116.
The 300D at the junkyard is American spec so it is indeed a turbo. I remember because I considered removing the turbo when I was there a few days ago but decided it would be too much work.
