I (personally) always considered the W116 a transitional model for Mercedes.
I say that because they seemed to be in a sort of void engineering-wise

The styling was a little wonky, too. At least I

nope, just speculation. Find a rusty 2.5T, find a trans flywheel
that would be compatible etc.
The 603 is slanted some. I think you could add a little more slant
if need be. I've never seen the 2.7 sprinter engine, but it seems
likely to be a descendant of the 5cyl version of the 606.
The story is that it started out as a 420E - the guy found a low miles 500
engine, and had it swapped just because. I do wonder about the suspension
form the real 500 without the chassis/body mods that Porsche added. It might
be OK if you kept it under 120-130 though.

The crankshaft probably needs replacing because the harmonic balancer came
loose. But $4k?! He's crazy.
The going rate for a 116 SD in the Bay area seems to be about $1800-$2500. If
it is a gas model, it simply won't go at all. Especially a 450SE/L. I saw a 76

My friend has one. I think there was another system too. I recall
