2004 sl 500
2004 Sl 500 with a Sl 55 amg super charger... or not

Is there a way to attach the supercharger from the sl 55 on to my poo poo 500? I don't have 10 or 15 grand to buy the renntech one. Too poor to buy a 55 so save chumpage please. Also does anyone know what all would be involved in putting the sl55 or 65 motor in my 500? Like computers and electrical stuff. Will the 7 speed work or do I gotta get the 5 speed. I know where there is a wrecked sl65 and it's got me just wondering about this stuff and I like projects. Thanks and I appreciate it for any input you can give to help me out on this stuff.

SL55 AMG
If saving money is your goal, you'd be much better off just buying the original thing.

I'm certain there is, and it may not be particularly difficult. But the engine that supercharger belonged to had strengthened internals and a lower compression relative to your engine. Note that Kleemann offers a supercharger, but it has less boost than the '55's.
