This a a very invloved swap.As with anything MB ..it can be done as long as you throw enough cash at it.First...the AMG motor is outrageously expensive... Consider things such as engine/ trans computer,air intakes. bellhousing, perhaps new mounts for all...exhaust and O2 sensors...drivshafts...and the list goes on.If you got an estimate for the work , I think you would find its waaaaaay cheaper to trade yours in on a few yr old AMG. And also one that is modded to that extent would never have a warranty and so any issues would continue to chew away at your bank acct.Also might be next to impossible to sell when you got tired of it or it used up all your cash. Having said all that, if you proceed with it, keep us allposted.
