Its really not as simple as it sounds your going to need extensive mods to the engine bay to fit the engine in your going to need a new gearbox also you would need chassis re-enforcement there would be loads to do to the car even your drive shaft will need work.

Unfortunately all the 55 AMG engines are not the same to get one that would work with an SLK electrical system you would need a 113.989 and guess where the only place you can find that is and the 7G is going to be hard to find also and even harder to wire up.

I don't mean to sound all negative but speaking as a tech this just is not going to happen without serious financial backing and even if you can get the engine to fit and run its not going to be a 55 there is so much more than just a different engine.

Save up man and buy the real thing.
