Not sure about that, the starter might be an issue. The engine block might have positions for starter on either side, so I would check for that. If it does, then it should fit without issues.

I swapped a CL55 AMG engine (5.4 M113) into my R500 and it is running properly, no changes to coding needed. Theoretically you could also swap in a 5.4 M273 but you will probably need professional coding assistance.
