Hell, I knew the 603s did...never crossed my mind to check the M103.
'A1042050210' is the PN from the EPC! Going to find myself one ASAP. More coolant flow and more airflow over that puny radiator is always welcome.
BMW did this with their M30 I6s. Went from a 144mm pulley to a 130mm pulley, about 0.5" smaller. It was optional for the Afrika Korps destined vehicles
but became standard around 1989.
Like you, I still agree the radiators are too small in these climates. I remember another shop owner here telling me something similar about my W116 280S. The radiator was too small, even with the oil cooler. He preferred to remove the oil cooler and go with the larger radiator.
