W126 engine swap, 5.0 to 5.6

I dont know if any of you recall, but I was having problems with my 5.0 V8 M117.963 using water. Having replaced head gaskets, rebuilding the heads, refreshing the intake, i'm still getting coolant into the exhaust.
So, I purchased a 1988 560SEC to use as a donor for the M117.968 high output 5.6 V8.
The 5.6 obviously has KE jetronic, and I'm pretty sure that my existing intake and fuel injection will bolt up to the 5.6 engine, to eliminate any need for the computer.
My concerns are the distributor and the EZL. Would it be best if I transplant this system into my 500, or use my old style distributor and ignition unit on the 5.6?
I'd also like to swap the switchable transmission from the 560 into my 500 at the same time. How feasible would this be?

Any other things I should be aware of?

Regards.
