How are you going to deal with the SLS?

-As Mike has noted above, the engine mounting components and the exhaust manifolds are chassis specific.
-The complete engine & transmission from the W116 can be moved directly to the W123. The M110 w/722.1 combination was used in both chassis. (The 722.1 was not used with the M117, and so will not be retained in the W116 chassis.)
-The SLS pump is driven by the front of the exhaust cam when used on a M110. The drive dog is a bolt on piece. The cam box has a cover at that location.
-The transmission may be located slightly farther back in the W123 chassis with the M110 vs. the OM617. The drive shaft may have to be shortened.
-Final drive gearing will need to be shortened to a 3.07 in combination with a !st gear start in the 722.1, or, a 722.2 trans could be used to provide a normal 1st gear start.
