Thank you. I only made one post on MB world and received a 1 week vacation courtesy of not being a paid sponsor. Until I'm doing a few of these every month, I can't afford to pay them a couple hundred a month just to talk about what I'm doing with these swaps. Hoping it gets to that point though.

Congrats!
Thanks Mike, I'd rather not do house calls but it worked out well as he had a Mercedes tech that knew what needed to be done and the CLS had the AMG 55K motor as an option so it was considerably easier than doing this on the Crossfire. There was a decent amount of wiring though as it was missing quite a few things that the addition of a supercharger requires.

Thanks Doc. BTW, what's up with your avatar? You get a third one in SSB that you're only dropping hints of having? Paul said it would be just wrong if you had three of them and not one had a V8 under the hood. LOL

You let me know when you're ready to do it up and we'll make it happen. We have another person looking to do the same with theirs and keep the manual. Should be a lot of fun when done to have all that power just a gate away from the perfect gear!

From stickers to engine swaps in such a short time.
YOU DA MAN! 
I "had" money set aside for a swap but the wifey is taking it (and more) to open a restaurant. I sure hope it works and I get my engine swap monry back!
If she makes great food and charges a fair price, you'll both be fine. What kind of restaurant did she open? Like everyone has wished us with our new venture, I wish you and your wife the best of luck.
Phew, all done. Everyone take care and have a safe and enjoyable Halloween/Reformation weekend.
