I might consider that engine swap (V12) instead of the OM603 swap into a 1995
wagon...

Yes, V is used for long wheel base... current S class is W222, long one
(which is all we get in USA) is V222. The really long one (Maybach
variant) is X222. There are some less common ones... like N253: the fuel
cell GLC.

Exactly.
That’s where the M119 really shines. You can be cruising at 65 or 70 on the
interstate and put your foot into it and it’s like you just woke up the beast.
More HP and torque there than you ever expected. I would expect the M120 to be
even more responsive in similar situations.
I will
Yeah that was kinda my thinking too. The guy is doing a good job on the
201/M120 project though.
The V12 is a bit frightening. I went out yesterday in the car. The road I live

Methinks the Dutch guy is talking out of his bottom. There’s nothing in the
R129 history that suggests Porsche was ever involved with the design or
production. The engine compartment on that car is pretty big, even for the
M119, so I don’t see where Mercedes would need assistance in dropping an
Yes the 129 was based on a shortened 124 chassis.

The letters are consistent. W is sedan, S is wagon, R is roadster, C is coupe.
There
is no W107, only R/C107. There ought to be a C123, but I'm not sure they ever
used
that
Part number prefixes are meaningless for the most part. In many cases they’ll
cross over between chassis numbers over time, so the prefixes are irrelevant at
that point.
That’s like some of my W111 parts having 108 prefixes.

OK - my memory is slipping - it's the R129 that is based on the W124. The
R/C107 is based on the W114/115.
Part numbers. When I owned both a pair of W124s and a C107 I noticed
several 107 part numbers started with 124. When I needed a pair of new rear
axel half shafts, I ordered them from Rusty -
I think you meant that the R129 is based on the 124? I think Dan shared that a

And this appears to be somewhat correct - components of the W114 were used to
design the R107.

It was designed based on a shortened W124 chassis, as I suspected. It’s very
W124-like in a lot of respects.

the w114 mated to the back end of the w116.

If you stare at the issue long enough it does become obvious.
The w113 is of the era of w110/111/112/114/115/116 design class
R107 follows the 108/109 numbering scheme of dart board naming
With the advent of the w123, we moved to the w126/w124 and needing a
