M272 DE Swap
Hey all. I have an E350 in my neighborhood for sale with the dreaded camshaft adjuster failure. Dropping in a new engine is less of a headache and I'd be way up because the current owner will let it go for $1000 because he's moving out of state and wants it gone.
From what I understand the M272 DE in the SLK made more power due to a different intake manifold and direct injection. If I swap the ECU from the SLK along with the engine, do you think it'd link up plug and play? Or does the SLK have a different fuel pump for the direct injection?
I've attached a link to the engine in question.

Bummer. I figured I wasn't thinking of all the variables. I thought it would be cool to drop on of these direct injected motors in for an increase of 30hp.
