M102 & M103 should be the same height and width; the M103 is two cylinders longer.
Sorry I didn't explain that bit of my thinking.

The M102 is pretty tight in the W201 chassis - the M103 can't be much more than 5cm longer. The M103 does need the cross member for the bonnet / hood catch to be removed to get the engine in and out. We'll have for gatorblue but I'd be surprised if it was much more than about 65 to 70cm.

(And don't forget the cylinders are smaller albeit more numerous!)
