I would recommend shortening the driveshaft and move the engine further back.
And of course you got the standard problems, exhaust, wiring an so on.
I did it once. You could fit the box to the original automatic driveshaft, but the engine sits very far to the front. Both 603 engine and w123 where already an automatic. You'll need to drill 2 holes in the chassis for the gearbox support. I thought de w124 support fits on 2 bolts and you can easily drill the other holes. You'll also need to move the radiator to the right a few cm's for the steering pump to clear the radiator. The fan will not fit and needs to become electric. I did the motor mounts with spacers on the right side, and a homemade one on the left.
