I'm trying to shove a 603 in a s123 (wagon) and I'm in the midst of fabricating some engine mounts. I'm pretty sure I know where I want the engine but I'm missing one measurement that I should have taken off of the parts car (87 300D) before I junked it.

I'd like the distance between the engine mount locations on the frame crossmember.

Below is the measurement I'm looking for.




And if you're wondering, no I am not using the w123 engine mounts. I'm adapting some w140 SDL arms and using the w124 style hydraulic engine mounts.

I can get you that measurement Monday I have a parts car with no engine but it's at my friend's house 44 miles away

The distance from the center of one hole to the center of the other hole is 20 and half inches if you have a question let me know

Thank you. That is what I measured between the engine arms.

It seemed like the mounts were angled in to the engine slightly.
