1994 sl500 supercharged with 2003 sl55 amg
Hey quick question. Just got ahold of a 1994 sl500 and i have been looking for performance parts for this car and have found none. I was looking at later model amg's that use a supercharger and thought to ask does anyone know if you can bolt a supercharger off of the 5.5 amg engine and put it on the 5.0?? Ik this is basic but just looked up pictures of the sl500 intake manifold bolt locations and intake setup and the supercharger bolt locations and intake setup from a 5.5 motor and they both look (roughly) the same. Please before anyone says just buy a sl55 amg its better etc im just looking to be unique and different as for the most part i imagine these cars generally get 0 modifications

My car starts from rest in 1st gear, and for me this transforms the character of the car. Yours can start in 1st too by moving the shift lever to the "B" position and back to "D" while at rest. Alternatively, you can build a simple electronic circuit as described in this thread.

According to wiki the m113 was a more emissions friendly version of the m119. m119 also has forged con rods stock and wiseco im pretty sure can make customs pistons. Just looking to see what can be swapped from a m113 to m119 as there is no aftermarket for this car. More specifically the supercharger, exhaust manfiold (no headers for the m119 engine, m113 has plenty) fuel injectors and head gasket. For the most part from what ive been reading/seeing it looks like those can be interchanged. Also that is all im looking to interchange, I obviously know there are alot of differences between the engines electronically and i know one is 3 and the other has 4 valves per cylinder among other things. The stuff I listed looks like it can possibly be interchanged. Looking for anyone with good knowledge on both engines that an provide some good insight on the differences in the blocks
