damn it.. I just bought new turbo along with few stuffs for my car which probably totals out to the same amount as C43 conversion.
I wonder if the v8 fits right onto the transmission.

I believe you will need the 5th gear. C36 and 43's (97 and up) have that extra gear.
I heard it won't fit my car. oh well...

So you would still need a transmission and a computer for this engine, right?
Exslkboy,
How come it won't fit your c280? I thought the body of a c43 and our c280 are the same?

It would most likely fit in the C320, since they are the same engine class. The new modular 3 valve sohc cam motor.
