I was fortunate to have a wrecking yard about a mile-and-a-half from our house in Austin that had an imported European 123.130 (the exact same type of car I was trying to make, but this one was that way from the factory) in its stock. I got a number of parts from that car including the transmission, driveshaft, pedal hangers, and maybe the correct OM617 manual transmission flywheel (though they could have had that in the shop). It was in the yard because its #1 piston had come out the side of the block. Coincidentally (or maybe not), the #1 port on the head into the exhaust manifold was very carboned up.
