I would like advise on the 82-91 differences to be sure it will work

How much is that going to cost? I wouldn't do that to a nice low mileage W126 the resale value is going to be very low after such a swap.

Spend $1,500 on a 420 like the one posted above. Why spend like $10k on a mint low mileage W126 only to pull it apart?
