Engine / Tranny Swap - W210 E55 - W124

How feasable would it be to swap a W210 E55 Engine / Tranny into a W124 500E?

Im sure it is, my friend who is a Benz expert just purchased a front end damage 500E and he has a 2005 E55 Engine that he wants to put in there with a 6 speed Manual tranny, so im sure a W210 should no tbe an issue

my thinking was to do a W210 engine / tranny swap but the have the engine supercharged by Kleeman, I've heard though that superchargers atop the engine in the bay of a W124 does not offer sufficient clearance to close the hood...hmmm...

Simple solution.


Mind you, I know this sort of thing is taboo but when I get enough cash and a good enough shop, I intend on putting an Eaton TSV 2300 on a 3.6l converted m104 in my coupe. And the stack sure as hell is coming through the hood
