However, I'm really worried if it will really fit because after doing some research I learned that although both have a M130 engine, my 250C has W114 chassis and the one that I bought has W108 chassis.

Would you be able to inform me if it will really fit the car (and I'm praying to God that your answer is "yes it does").

Thank you!
