I would think you could just use the engine mounts for the 115
version of the engine and pull wires as needed under the dash to
accommodate it. Then again, what do I know. I will try anything
once or twice.

I am not into butchery of 123s. If it won't bolt in, I will look for
an engine that will fit. Just a shame if I can't find a use for this
nice engine.
I butchered my old 66 bronco back in the day. It was a U110 factory
ragtop. Had a whole 170 CU. IN, and got 10 mpg. I thought it could
not be worse with a 289. Partway into the project, I found out Ford
mad a 6 cyl frame and body and an 8 cyl frame and body. Had to
butcher both frame and body to put the 289 in. But it did pull like
a tractor...... still got 10 MPG.
Then I had to butcher a 62 econoline to put the 170 in it. Pre- and
post- 1965 drivetrains were completely different, so we put the 66
drivetrain under the 62.

My personal mantra here is ... you can put any engine in any
chassis
... for the right price.
