are you seeking one of a kind?
i think thats about the only end result.if you tossed the same amount of cash that you will spend on the swap at the original power plant and drivetrain you would smoke the V-12 from a performance standpoint.the electronic engine management and wiring mods would be enough to deter me even if i was being paid huge $!!!!!!!!. bones

have you seen the 171 slk with the slr engine in it? anything is possible. it's just a matter of finding someone with the knowledge, time, and willingness to take the project on. not only would you have to change the complete engine harness, you'd also have to upgrade the brakes, suspension, rework/fab the motor mounts, move/rework your fire wall, get a custom driveshaft, upgrade your differential, and be ready for plenty of surprises. i'm sure ther'es alot i left out, but that should be enough to help you make up your mind on whether or not you want to do it. it would also be beneficial if you had unlimited access to your local bank.
