5.6 w116 idea, input welcome

Hey everyone,

Alright, since its summer and the sun is shining I was thinking about getting myself into a new head acke. I was thinking about getting a 560SEL and putting its engine into my 450SEL. I gathered a few questions for those who may have accomplished this trick or those who know a little more than i do.

Will the engine and tranny combo bolt right up without change to the drive shaft? Will I need to wire in the double fuel pump setup or is there enough pressure from the single pump already? Will the radiator from a W126 mount up without too much hassle. If it doesnt, will I need to run the tranny lines all the way around. How much additional wiring is there to a 5.6?

Now of course I would have both cars side by side and slowly migrating one to the other but what kind of hassles could I run into.

Thanks for your input,
Peter
