Nah, the M117 is staying in the W126 or at least that is the plan for now. I don't figure the W114's driver train would hold up to the M117. It had crossed my mind but after laying out the bucks for the 280C's head rebuild it would be a long time in the future project.

I had rails made from fuel rail stock ($50 from Fuel Air Spark Technology) which I took over to a machine shop for the injector drilling ($115 for eight holes and the rails cut to length). It is AN-8 stock which I wasn't too happy about because I have to tap the ends out to 1/2" NPT as opposed to using "standard" AN-6 (3/8" NPT). No big deal and it may actually work out due to the larger interior diameter acting as a buffer, or dampener. But of course the machine shop didn't have a 1/2" NPT so I have to buy one and then either tap the rails myself or pay them $10 a hole. Frickity-frick! I'll bite the bullet and take it to them. Sigh.

I'm using standard Ford 19lbs. an hour injectors used in just about every Ford engine from 1996 til 2002 or so.

The fittings for the ends are $5 apiece but the 90 degree barbed fittings are $16 APIECE! Thank goodness I think I only need 2 (across the front, connecting the rails together). The rear holes will be used for supply/return and I'll have to get an adapter to the metric lines. They are available, just a matter of squeezing the old pocket book just a LITTLE harder.

Just received my MS relay board and cable yesterday so I might begin the wiring process this weekend.

Still futzing about with the TPS. Pumpish shows one which bolts right up, with a little grinding of the aluminum housing, so I might go that route.
