603 into w123

Hey, so I'm looking at the possibility of a future project, and was talking about this with Garrett, and was wondering if anyone here has tried this. I've seen one of the Finn's cars with it done, and it was crazy, but I was wondering how difficult the swap would be. Obviously the motor and tranny, but what about other details? Like would the speedo cable from a 124 transmission work on the 123 cluster? Same with the tach amp and coolant sensors and all that good stuff. It wouldn't be an over night project, but I think the gains would be huge, both performance and efficiency wise, not to mention the idea of a much easier swap to 5-speed. What do you all think?
