Yep - sad sad day - but even I have to face the freakonomics fact of life here in Holland.

M117 - has monster torque compared with the M104 but a similar power

But the cost of the V8s here in Holland (and the cost of parts) does play a part. I should be able to get a M104 and a 722.3 for about 600 euros whereas I might struggle to get just the V8 engine for that amount of cash

Still would be sweet to build a 600 HP beast with it.

I think it has been done before. There's a chap over on the performance section of tech help who has a M104 in a W201 so it must go in a W123 (fingers crossed).
