Will an '08 engine work in my '04

I need to replace the engine in my 04 Crossfire. I found a great deal on an 08 Crossfire engine. I need to know if they are compatible, the salvage yard says no. Both engines are NA.

I don't know if any computer electronics need to be changed over but my understanding is all Crossfire na engines are the same.

Agreed. Can't think of anything that changed during the production run.

FWIW, on Car-Part.com, they show 2004 and 2005, then 2006-2008 as being interchangeable. I do not know of any differences, maybe a Mercedes search will show more. From other engine swaps, I have seen where the differences is an external component/sensor/manifold and can be swapped from old engine.
