from the radiator to the rear axle, NEARLY ALL mechanical parts are different. thinking here, only the base internals of the transmission (NOT the 356 overdrive) and maybe the u-joints and the pinion seal. I would not hesitate to buy the 160 if a conversion into a running 120 is the plan. And by the way I believe there is an indentation in the firewall to accommodate the 356.

Crystal ball - you buy the 120 coupe, get it prepped for Great Race 2025 and "in your spare time" work on the 160 Coupe which will be the long term project.
