I would like to swap the 5.3L with LS6 intake manifold into the w124. Just wanted to know if anyone has done a similar swap and what I need to look out for.

Thanks

Yes, it has been attempted several times, with very few real successes. You will encounter conflicts with the front end components, steering box etc. the list goes on

In the end you will spend much more money than it's worth.

The best way to get a V8 124, is simply buy a 400E or a E420, or better yet an E500E

also can buy a used W210 E55 that you can drive right away..fast fast car

But if you are expert mechanic and have the tooling resources and the money, have a go.. good luck

but in the end you will have a car no one will buy,
