? re: swapping a 4.2 into an '83 380SEC

Have a line on what appears to be a pretty Cherry 1983 380SEC (engine blown) and have a spare running 4.2 out of my 88' 420SEL parts car...

Is there really anything mechanical that would overly complicate this swap? My mechanic is really pretty familiar with W126 cars.

I'm just looking for any opinions re: serious incompatibility or issues.

Thanks in advance!

p.s. Any info the SOONER THE BETTER would be much appreciated!
