A 124 coupe minus engine is available; can get a euro 380SE V8 complete car for cheap; will the 117V8+transmission drop into the 124 engine bay seeing the 400E M119V8 engine was put into 124 same chassis?. Seen quite a few 124's with M119 V8 and even M120V12 conversions in European YouTube. This has to be a low buck project for me. Been into Mercs all my life so it seems keeping all MB will be easier and cheaper than the American V8 engine route. Anyone out there has tried this?
