Guess I have to push the radiator out and cut the firewall back to fit
the engine in. Gump is a 1972

I don't remember what chassis gump is, but the '75-'76 W115 300D had
an
extended nose compared to the '70 220D W115. The rear of the 617 was
closer
to the firewall, and the front was closer to the radiator.

Might be worth the effort to just swap over the engine to Gump.
I would worry about the engine length. The 114 nose is longer (?)
than the 115, all 6-cylinder gassers were 114's. Or so I recall.
So would a 5zyl fit in a 4zyl hole, or would you need the 6zyl hole
(which you ain't got.)
Yes, you would prolly have a driveshaft issue, and what about the
major
difference in the oil filter housing? Also, throttle linkage runs
throttle butterfly on air intake versus rack lever on IP, so there
would be some interesting differences there.
