What would it take to swap a 55k engine into a CLK BS?

It's not as hard as you think. Send the car/parts out here and I know we can get it done.
FYI my car has a regular NA 55 block in it for now with a Kleemann supercharger. The plan is to put a 55k block but I cant find any reasonably priced ones so looks like the old block is going back in for now. It is not a difficult swap to do
CLK55 208 was 01 and 02. 209 was 03 and up
Funny that you say that because I just googled the F1 safety cars of the past and sure enough it was a CLK55 back in 2003 and I imagine the mounts could be the same and the trans should line up with the driveshaft with no problems and besides Ahmad did it with the 208 version so why not the 209? CLK 55's are about 60k less that the BS and I'm sure the suspension and brakes could be upgraded.
I gonna suggest this to my son. So the CLK 55's had a production run from 2003-2006?
