After tackling my full suspension refresh, I am considering the next phase of this restoration of a 200k used CLK 430 2002. I know they fit up to a 5.5 since the clk55 AMG came with that, however, given the price, parts availability, & maintenance the LS1 has it beat. Since the V8 M113 uses a simple two bolt engine mount and one rear trans mount setup, could the LS1 swap be “straightforward”? I have checked Benz forums but no one has yet to do it post proof or a description of their experience doing it.

Info: (I am able to Tig weld custom parts) & (I suck a wiring, but can make it happen with time).
