Custom engine block Question!
I have been brainstorming a little and was wondering if it is possible to efficiently bolt a block( SL 500, CLK55 etc) from another MB 113 AMG engine onto a CLK 430 F/I head? I have heard of Kleeman boring the 430 out to a 6 liter but would like to see if it would be cheaper to put on a larger AMG block? The main purpose would be to get serious gains of course but also utilize AMG pistons and their strength!

Bore and stroke!
I did some research and talked to Kleeman, any m113 block will bolt up the only difference is bore and stroke. I would be better off swapping in a used engine in the displacement I want because of the cost to do the job labor, tuning, parts etc! The main thing I want is low compression pistons with AMG integrity any suggestions would be great!
