5) If the tail housings/output shafts/output flanges are the same, then the sedan transmission is a bolt-in.
To answer the question a picture of a 460 722.1xx transmission is required.

Thanks Frank. Hearing the W123 was made between 1977-80 is interesting because the registration claimed it is a 1982. I found two ID plates, one of which shows it was imported into Japan by Western Automobile Co. Ltd that says the engine number is 110-984 12 066730.
It is left hand drive (Japan cars are RHD) and it came with the exhaust gas recirculation (ERD) pump and pipes that I will be removing because the G Wagon exhaust manifolds are different, and mine does not have ERG nor a catalytic converter. This all suggests the M110 984 is the US-market engine.
But I am confused about what to expect with horsepower.
According to the Mercedes Engine and model survey, the M110-984 is a Model 114.062 engine is a "for USA" model that produces 130 KW@6,000 RPM (174 HP),
Other
sources say the Model 114.062 engine is a m110.981
Despite checking numerous databases, I am unable to find the data product vehicle specification sheet for the 280E sedan. Would you be able to find out what engine I have in terms of performance?
- Horsepower
- compression ratio
- regular or premium fuel, etc?
