I was wondering if the bellcrank from the W116 might hit the firewall since there is more room in front of the firewall in a 116.
I agree that an NA transmission with a turbo engine might be problematic. I'd also try to use the turbo transmission. Even if it meant that I used a GPS instead of a speedometer.
