Its not even worth it.. I believe the CLK w209 swap can be done. I was reading a thread a while back. Ive been in the market i could have picked one up for 100 dollars but i passed on it. The pre 2005 cluster looks like the 80's

THE C350
It gets expensive fast. You have to buy and brand new cluster or one with less than 1k miles on it or you can't get it to ever work. That alone cost like $1000 then you need to convert to MOST. Some cars will need new fuel level senders. Just buy a new car way more cost effective in the USA atleast.
