We invite you to browse and take advantage of the information and resources here on the site. If you find helpful information, please register for full membership, and you'll find even more resources available. Feel free to ask questions, and make liberal use of the "Search" function to find answers.

There is no "easy" swap to put any V8 into a 6-cylinder W124 chassis. If it was easy, you would see dozens or hundreds of these conversions. Instead, you have to look worldwide to find single digit quantities.
Kridre is correct, if your E320 is a sedan, sell it and buy a 400E/E420, or E500E. If it's a wagon, coupé, or cabrio... be prepared to spend a LOT of money that you'll never recoup. Lots of custom fabrication, custom electrical work, exhaust, etc etc.
