Go for it. You can also try an ECM from these guys and let us know how good it is:

When you can pick up an average-mile w208 CLK55 for $15-20k these days, I can't imagine how it would ever make sense to do such a swap.

I am attempting something very similar right now which is to swap the 3.2 in my 2004 Crossfire (Same as SLK320) with a 5.0 from a similar year CL500. I have managed to keep costs way down. 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. the ECU is the biggest issue. I am having it Unlocked and then re-programed to the car with the star diagnostic system. |

The SRT6/AMG32 has its limits. It has been much more rewarding figuring out how to install a V8. It is now almost done. The engine running through my Ansa exhaust sounds amazing and it didn't cost anywhere near what people thought it would. I have spent about $4,000 but I can know that down to about $3,000 if I sell my perfectly good 320 V6 engine.
