I am also curious as to the real answer to your question. I guess my
comments have helped go astray from that.........
115 is what years? Would a 76 240D 4 speed be a 115?
I like the 123 chassis much more than any of the others as well.

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.
