The reason I ask, is I am replacing the original .950 engine (#5 cylinder died a noisy death, knock, then blew the tip off the prechamber) with a .952 engine. I have read conflicting stories on wether it will fit around the cross body stiffeners and supports.
I like your alternator bracket modification to get it to work with the larger alt.

I believe I have the .951 engine. I'm not sure if the .952 engine upper oil pan fits in the W116 body or not, though I've heard it doesn't clear.
