I still have the black C43, i doubt i will sell that car anytime soon!!! If i keep it for long enough, eventually, I will look for an AMG 5.4L V8 out of an AMG55 and swap it into the C43, have RENNtech do the DME, and there we go, i have a C55!!! Please keep me posted if any1 of you come across any AMG55 motors!!

I haven't come across a motor, but I have talked to someone nearby who has done this. :) Can't wait to see it!

I know someone who got a C43 and planning to swap his C43 engine with CLK55 motor. Eventually the brand new engine still sitting at his place and will see it soon when it's mounted.

Do you just swap in the ECU and tranny when you do this conversion?

If I dont do the s/c and go with the 5.5L, I'll let you guys know about my 4.3L engine.

Denlasoul,

Have you looked into modding the current engine w/ a Brabus kit (5.8 stroker kit w/ 400bhp...see W210 area E430 kits under tuning on their site) or something & remapping your factory ECU??

Then you would have a one of a kind C58!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1HAHAHA

I saw a Kleemann s/c'd 5.8L Brabus engine in a G-Wagon. It was pretty impressive and the power was awesome.

For me though, I wanna stick with the AMG theme of my car. ;)
