Hi Guest !
Welcome to the 500Eboard forum.
Since its founding in late 2008, 500Eboard has become the leading resource on the Internet for all things related to the Mercedes-Benz 500E and E500. In recent years, we have also expanded to include the 400E and E420 models, which are directly related to the 500E/E500.
We invite you to browse and take advantage of the information and resources here on the site. If you find helpful information, please register for full membership, and you'll find even more resources available. Feel free to ask questions, and make liberal use of the "Search" function to find answers.
We hope you will become an active contributor to the community!
Sincerely,

If you swap a LOT of mechanical parts, yes, it can be done. Have to move all the distributor ignition setup (and valve covers, and cam sprockets) to the W210 engine. You'd also need to get a 4.2L LH module and EZL for the R129.
If you are based in USA, just get another SL500 engine instead - they aren't that expensive. And you won't devalue the R129 in the process.
OP appears to be in Germany however, the suggestion to source an appropriate engine is still valid and the recommended route although probably more expensive than a US engine.If you swap a LOT of mechanical parts, yes, it can be done.

@Robi97 eBay is probably a good place to start looking.
I thought the same at first, but I think they're 'Murican using a VPN. Either that, or someone from the Deep South moved to Grrmany!
