W108 rear caliper options (W126?)

Hi all,

I see the w108 replacement rear calipers have become quite pricey. I wonder if some much cheaper W126 replacement calipers will fit? Some come with the hose at an angle, which I guess...

I too came to like the simplicity and bulletproofness of early K-jet systems, the ones with no electronics. Intake manifolds are very different between K-jet and EFI systems. I don't know if there...

We don't see the right side clearance, though it seems to fit. The earlier M119 had a taller block deck making them a bit wider. That must be the one I measured.

Indeed, using an SL oil pan or...

I'm positive the m119 won't fit in between the two chassis rails of the W108, unless you modify them heavily. I took measurements as I was considering a transplant in my W111 Coupe. In the end I...

Thank you Frank, this is very useful.

I'm a bit surprised by the 44/45 mm bore. The 560 SL engine I used for one of my projects has a 35mm bore, as I used a standard 6202 pilot bearing.

I don't think the 560 trans has an overdrive 4th (they have a different differential ratio though) and it won't bolt on the 450 as aluminum blocks have a different bolt pattern in the back.
