Hi,

the V8 radiator have the same part number like the V6 but the V8 have two fan for AC and than you need the fan signals from SAM to get rpm on it!. The oilpan isnīt any problem, donīt set your focus on this.

You need a different gearbox and the pcm for it, than set up all PCM inside the car for the VIN of the masterkey, ODO, engine PCM, key entry PCM and much more. That ist the biggest deal of all.

Isnīt so easy to move an engine from a Ford or GM or anything else, because the communication works about CAN BUS, engine CAN "A" and interior CAN "B"!! So mercedes use different PCM like Siemens or Fujitsu or Bosch with different software. Good luck!!
