M156 Swap
I have a clk500 (m113 5.0) I'm looking to swap in a M156. Has anyone done this before? Forgive me if there's a thread on this already as I couldn't find one. I'd imagine it's a straight swap besides electrical since clk63 is a thing but yea I need some guidance before I go out of my way to get a motor. Lmk!

Radiator, fan etc is all different. CLK63 has a engine oil cool at the bottom of the radiator, cooled by the lower grill intake.
Biggest difference is the CLK63 has a completely different rear subframe, differential is AMG, shafts are different.
There’s plenty of other things as well but these are the main ones.
