3) Back of engine to where the oil pan sump ends.
4) Oil pan sump height
5) Width of engine exhaust manifold to exhaust manifold.
6) Height of engine Bottom of sump to top of intake manifold.

You missed the biggest issue measurement- width across the intake from outsid eof M16 to outside of M16- I can't see this working without major mods to the 107- the 120 is a wide engine- a 137 may be a better fit. The weight is also an issue- the M120 is wayyyy heavy- making your 107 dance a little more at high speeds...yikes!!
The other issue to consider is the intake air boxes, mass air flow sensors, etc. The engine management considers this engine as 2 104 engines, and compares them to each other. With the early ones, there was actually an unpublished changeup to the left side boxes and snorkle hose (right bank) that I did to several cars to stop problematic check engine lights.
Could it be done- of course, nothing is impossible, but to do it right, you could probably buy a couple year old 230 600 for the same cost!!
