W123 617 into W126?

Ok. I did a search on this but I couldn't find a definative answer. I have an '85 300D that was hit in the trunk and totaled but the engine is still perfect. I want to do an engine swap but I'd like to find an SD with a blown engine. I know they both used the OM617 engine but will everything match up, i.e. like how the trannys mate and where the motor mounts are, ect? I'm going to start looking for a good w123 or w126 body soon. Thanks.
