Question Anyone tried to put a 380 into a W116

I have a very nice W116 w/t a 280 SE engine and was wondering what would be involved into changing the engine for a 380?

thanks Hank J.

Probably more effort then it's worth, but doable. With a 450SEL it would be easier but you'll probably still need a drive shaft and some electrical work as the gauges on a 380 are all electronic. As both cars are mechanically injected, there is no computer, fuel injection to worry about.
