good point on the W123 application. i'm not sure which version of the engine it is really.
U.S. market engines are always the bigger ones. the US was and is obsessed with displacement, automatic transmissions, and air conditioning. europe seemingly had other interests like cloth seats, more emergency equipment, and higher fuel taxes.
