Okay, I know that i did the swap awile ago, but i finally got the pics worked out and got them on here!!! Enjoy, I took out my 4.2 and put in a 5.6, ionly had to swap over one coolant tempsensor, but thats all. We did the job in just under 11.5 hours, I drove it home the night of the install! The guy you see in the pic is a buddy of mine that helped.

haha doing the trans was tempting... but i don't want to pass up the chance to blow a mercedes tranny, and be able to brag hahaha, i don't drie the car much anyways, i have a daily driver, but the trans isn't to terrible to do so ill just wait and see. Its a strong trans anyway.
