Sorry but I don't have pictures of someone else's car. The area in question is near the idler arm, that I am sure of. And yes the 5.0 was offered but there was more room engineered into that area for those cars, which yours is not. I'm not trying to B/S you. I am a 10 yr M/B tech. On any given day i can be working on both 107's and V12 cars. Heck, there is a 380 SL in my shop sitting without an engine in it. I know exactly how much room you have. I also mentioned the idea around the shop (mercedes only independant) and everybody chuckled and then agreed, "no way in hhell"
I'm sorry that I'm the only voice of reason here but I am trying to tell you that you have no idea what it will take to put a m120 into a w107. I can promise you it will exceed any notion you have by an enormous percentage. As a rough guess I'd bet you'll have to re-engineer at least 50% if not 75% of the entire car. If it were even remotely feasible don't you think someone would have done it by now? Hell, I've seen V12's stuffed into a C-class but you're talking about a 6 figure price tag on the conversion. Are you really serious about dropping that kind of scratch on one of the lamest of all SL's?
