Why? Sell the 320 for a authentic 55 AMG. The cost of the swap isnt worth the hassle. In the end you still have the 320 interior, transmission that wont handle the extra power, and CLK's have weak diff's the 320 diff wasnt meant to handle the 390lbs ft of torque that the 55 engine delivers.

I got a the engine from a rear totaled CL500 with less than 2500 miles on it for 1,600. which included complete engine with engne cover, wiring harness and Computer. the only thing missing was the water pump and accessories which can be swapped from the V6.
To put this engine in the Crossfire (R170 chassis and probaly the CLK) you would need CLK500, CLK55, or C43 exhaust manifolds. I am also getting rid of the stock collong fan and replacing it with dual 12 in fans.

Why not just sell your crossfire for a crossfire SRT-6. Same V6 kompressor engine as in the C32 AMG, and the mods are endless.
