108 engine swap - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Hello; does anyone have any pictures of what the engine supports for the 3.5 or 4.5 V8 looks like? Are they interchangeable? Does anyone have a pair they are willing to part with?

The reason I ask is I would like to install a 3.5 V8 (m116) engine from a 1979 116 that is beyond the point of repair body wise. I initially planned to install a OM617 turbo diesel engine, unfortunately I have ran into too many issues in fitting and mounting this engine correctly.

The previous inline six engine is long gone and the 3.5 is the only engine I currently have. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Alright, I am looking for the following parts:

L/R exhaust manifolds
engine oil pan
L/R engine supports - possibly a deal in progress...

These are the only parts that has brought my project to a halt. If anyone have or know anyone who has any of the following parts I am more than willing to purchase them at the sellers price. I must get this car running before I leave for vacation...

BTW these parts can be from any 108 or 109 with a 3.5 M116 V8 or 4.5 M117 V8
