M103 in W123
Would an M103 L6 + Transmission (from say a W126 300SE) fit in a W123. There is that red 230TE that has a seized engine in Ballarat (I can't keep track of who ruins what business up there). It will be difficult to find an M102 with SLS fitting but an M103 and the combo steering / sls pump would be a good option (and would give the ol wagon a bit of perk). Someone I know (definitely not me !) is considering it.

Re: M103 in W123
Never done this, but if the M110 doppelnocker fitted, an M103 should fit as well. But you are not the first one to consider this:
