Nice. Now what about the Chicken Wagon? :) Still needs a B2 piston. (Probably.) It might end up being my winter beater, which means that I'd need to get it running again! My indy's window for engine swaps (Frankenheap) is in the January timeframe.

IIRC the B2 piston is a component in a W123 auto trans that enables a shift. It may be a part of other trans as well.

Well your going have to take it up with the keeper of the ATTABOYS, if Wilton thinks you are worthy he may graciously award you one but I say no, unless you lay under the car and lifted the box out with your bare hands and made a blood sacrifice to the car Gods, who in this case would be Daimler and Benz.
