The 86 chassis (at least some of them - not sure that any/all of the 4 cylinder chassis were changed) were redesigned to allow the 5 and 6 cylinder engines to fit.

Not to mention why he's selling his project after taking it this far. BTW, I was looking at the 16v, and it appears I can stick a 3 thick intercooler between the condensor and the grill. The horns and steering fluid cooler would have to be relocated. Can't do that with a W116 chassis. I think, but don't know for sure, that the 2.5 will fit behind the radiator in its current position.

It should be quite fun and reasonably peppy with the manny behind it. For $1000, you could probably afford to sort the stuff out that's wrong due to the engine swap and fix the ACC too.
