Maybe irrelevant but the US 1972 w114 250c is a 2.8 m130. I think all m130 are 2.8 liter engines.

I would assume that the injected m130 could work for a carbed m130 (but not vice versa). I don’t know how you’d block off the injection pump part. Also, I think the injected sedan motors are still valuable in the pagoda world even though the SL supposedly have a slightly “hotter” camshaft.

I think you should be able to find a good m130 from a 250 or 250c w114 if you wait long enough. One will certainly turn up. Often you can buy these cars for $1000 or less if not in great shape, and get a lot of spare parts from them too.
