What are you using for engine support arms? If you were planning on making them you can avoid the hassle by sourcing a pair of factory arms. You might also require a different transmission mount bracket, and a different length front driveshaft section. Shift rods could also be different lengths.

There are differences in the upper oil pan between the W115 and W116 OM617 engines and the later W123 and W126. The upper oil pan from a W123 and W126 OM617 is too fat and you'll have clearance issues installing one into a W115--so you have to either swap out the upper oil pan to a W115 or W116 one, or cut out a notch in either the upper oil pan or the subframe.
