Look at how heavily modified the inner bulkhead is.... No battery space on the right and modified space next to the fusebox on the left. Rear of engine bay was made wider and deeper with this modification to fit the M117.

My continuing research shows Euro logs exhaust are narrow and tight to the heads so no problems there. Ignition ICU from euro V8 does not appear to present a problem either. Both cars have electronic speedometers no problem. V8 Tach would fit into 124 cluster tach hole. Saw a Ford V8 302 transplanted into a 190E (Smaller, narrower engine bay) that did not appear to be a hassle. |

there is a 201 190 with an m119 in it, and looks like factory install almost.

Everything I've read about a W201+v8 says the engine compartment won't hold it. I have a 2
Y that needs a trans. Putting a v8 in would be the easy thing to do, if it would fit. -cth |

The few examples I've seen have to swap in a rack and pinion. I plan to do a front exhaust crossover to a passenger side merge. Much easier than a r&p swap. |
