Here's a few shots of the 5.4, Really happy with how the internals look ,with extended oil changes this must have been run on synthetics its whole life, my C43 is gold/brown and has much less km's,yuck.

Good luck

Hey Paul,

The first thing, if you want to swap 4.3 with 5.4, the only thing you have to swap is the Engine,

its NOT possible to change the ratio from 3.07 to 2.82, cause ECU & TCU should to be married with all ratio signals from the speed sensor & RPM,,

if you want to make your C43 as an original C55, you will need to swap everything,

(ECU/TCU/all Engine & gear harness/keyless infrared switch/steering lock/gear assembly/driveshaft with flanges),

which side you want to path with....??

ZAYED,,

Just arrived in the mail this morning!... I could have done with this years ago...

This confirms the C55 uses the 208.374 centre muffler, but ironically the A202# rear muffler does not show up in EPC =) .

The Sub frame is A202# and does not show up either but I'd bet its a clk55 sub frame... All other parts seem to be related to 208 CLK55 except that funny A208# air-air trans cooler?...which again doesn't show up in EPC..
