As for the swap, if it all seems to work correctly I'd change the lube in it and drive it.

Thanks, this is why i posted over here. I feel like i have learned a lot off oddball wisdom here that other places lack. I have only found one person who has done this in a w123, and it was a long time ago. It is however a common swap in the pagoda world, and i have parsed some usable info together.
I think i will take your advice and drive it. The previous owner put a lot of work into it. I will post some specs below and maybe start a new thread as i dig into it more in the mods section.
In terms of it being a project, it still needs some things sorted out. Pump timing, it needs a valve adjustment since it is a couple thousand miles off the rebuild. Tuning the wastegate, and setting the throttle linkage up better. Then just normal old w123 stuff like vacuum lines, interior trim, missing antenna etc.
You can see he did a lot of updates.
