Easy. You got the money?
Since my goal is the 600 motor in the 55 I've been researching the hell out of the swap concerns of mine and they'll fit, and some of the routing for certain things is a ton easier... Exhaust being the biggest since you don't have to make or create manifolds, you just buy some tube, get it bent, and weld it in place lol. The intercoolers are integrated so you don't even have to worry about mounts, brackets, extreme plumbing or anything... The size scares me a bit, but you can easily push the radiator forward another inch and you're good. Honestly if the suckers werent so damn heavy I would just go that route in the crossie, but the 55K motor will leave me some decent balance. The ECU work? C'mon guys, it shouldn't even be a question at this point lol.
I will point out however that the mentioned SLK ECU work was cake... The E-V12tt ECU work will be done for my car in 30 minutes. I actually wrote out why but then realized that I might need to leave the market open lol. For the Crossfire, it'd be more difficult since we're on the older electronics but definitely no where near as hard as the NA V8 manual ECU retrofit and reconstruction.
