I can only help out with half way house information.

M102 engine measured in the car

Measurements probably good within a centimeter (well I hope so I did put in a bit of effort to get them!)

Width of engine =>

Measured from side of valve cover next to the alternator (so standing in front of engine that's on the left - but is actually on the right hand side of the car) to where I think the side of the block stops - difficult to see because of all of the CIS crap in the way

37cm - this is the worst measurement I made!

Engine height =>

Measured from top of (front) anti-rollbar to top of valve cover + measurement from top of anti-rollbar to bottom of sump (lowest point of the sump)

58.5 cm - probably a pretty reliable measurement

Length of engine =>


Measured from where I know the back of the block extends past the back of the valve cover - where the block joins the gearbox to just behind the front pulleys (so you have fans and **** in front of this measurement before you get to the radiator)

60 cm

Bear in mind M102 was fitted to W201 and W124 models as well as the M103. I assume the length of the M103 is gonna be close to the M102. I assume the height of the M103 is gonna be close to the M103.

If I've done it all wrong and I'm 'ucking hopeless - I'll give it another go under strict direction!
