Tired 87 560sl due for engine
A while back I purchased a 560sl to join my mercedes fleet. I thought it was a good deal, but it has white smoke upon start up. I am currently doing the repair/replace analysis I began thinking that while I was at it, it would be nice to get a little more horse power out of it. In researching the internet, I found that the sl 560 was de-tuned for the US market, that the SEL/SEC has more horsepower. Also when investigating, it appears that used sel/sec engines are less expensive than the sl motors.

Brake Calipers Interchange W116, R107, W123 ??
Will the brake calipers interchange with the following cars:
1975 280S; 1979 450SL; 1979 300SD; 1985 300D?
They all appear to be the same, is there more I need to know other than the bolt pattern? Thank you.
