Engine Swap Question

I have a c320 and was deciding in the future to swap engines. I am not sure how complicated it is though. I would prefer the 4.3 AMG engine though. Is it a direct swap? What about the electronics and sensors. Will they all work? The engine MPFI module would have to be replaced as well so how would one go about doing this since they module is married to the rest of the car's electronics.

Well it all depends on your pockets.I do know some one with a C32 motor that would perhaps be a little easier to install .

I don't think I want to use the c32 motor actually. I have a Auxillary Heating system that sits in the same spot as the pump would go for the c32 kompressor. The Aux heating is a pretty pricy option and I do use it in the winter times so I am pretty sure I would like to keep that option. Any chance a 43 or 55 would be easy to fit in my c320?

Both engines are basically the same.I can't see why they wouldnt fit.There is a guy who had one placed in his W203 C240.
