My inspiration to do this came from reading about Satish's M119 powered 560SEC. There is a PDF with the details of his conversion online. I tried uploading it, but it was too large to upload it.
That's good news. I have a w108 4.5 car I can use the mount arms from in my w111. The main obstacle after that is exhaust. There are four different driver and 4 different passenger side manifolds so I hope one will work. Drivers side should be ok but passenger is a very different shape. Headers would not be a lot of fun to build with 16 exhaust ports. I'll have to measure some stuff and really look at the car with an m119 car next to it.
Do you have a link for that build you talked about before? I can't find it.
