saying that a 5 liter wont bolt into a 107?

they came from the factory with 500s and 560s, do you suppose they completely redesigned the frame to fit in the later motors? also the 350 and 450 are 116 and 117 engines too. so i bet the 450 is dimensionally identical to the 500 and 560.

i still say measure both and see what you find.

it might not be practical for many reasons, but i would be surprised if the engine being too big is one of them.
