Right I agree even if this guy is telling the truth why on a 230? Why not on a better car c55? on the 230 you have to change everything brakes and suspension. why not do it on a C55? That is why I feel this guy is a complete bull ****er.
These kind of idiot that come here a lie to gain attention are nothing but "cheer leaders"
whatttt? 230 with 6.3 enginee??? are you crazyyy? i have never saw that carr

I have no dought that our AMG transmission can support it... Take a look at the Brabus Bullit, It using the same transmission that our c32/c55 uses and the Bullit has 720 Hp and 811 torque. Im not sure if they modified it but to my knowledge our tranny is pretty buff
OD did you resize your sig with wordpad? Lol send me the original and I will resize it correctly for you if you would like
I own a 2005 slk55 I got 135000 miles on it an am considering an engine rebuild soon I was thinking can I replace it with a 6.3 instead my worries are the electronics and transmission coupling ... electronics cause of harness compatibility 6.3 has variable timing selenoids om the front of the heads and the 5.5 does not and the transmission simply needs to fit has anybody have any knowledge on this issue,
Clk black ecu would be the easy answer off the top of my head. Not sure how accurate that is though
Now unless the subframe is different on the BS than a normal 209, the m156 should fit in a c55 and slk55, just as the 722.9 trans (7spd) should fit in a c55 as the slk55 uses it already. Ive often wondered what the driving experience would be like using the newer trans in the 203... better top end responsiveness, gas mileage?
Before I totaled my c55 this year I had crackpipe dreams of slowly converting it to a c55 black series. spr was using a bs steering rack with no issues and as modular as mercedes built these cars I couldnt foresee a motor and trans swap to be out of the question as well in the hands of the right tuner
I think it was sunil who was converting that c230 into a c55k. I believe he started with a 203 and did the front clip swap to fit the m113k as well as a bunch of other luxury goodies (keyless, parktronic, folding mirrors)
I own a 2005 C55 and i was actually working on this swap at one point. I found a salvaged 2009 clk63 that was totaled out (rear ended). When it was all said and done, the guy flakes on me, so i just sorta put the project on hold and stopped looking for another clk.
I did a lot of research on this swap and a lot of the parts are interchangeable and compatible with each other... bumper/fenders, Break calipers/rotors, engine&trans, steering wheel, ecu, etc.... basically the entire front end of the car SHOULD bolt right on. Of course, it may SOME modifications but for the most part ive been told, that most of the swap willl be plug-n-play and " bolt on" lol
If anyone has already already COMPLETED this swap, PLEASE msg me.. any info will be helpful.

This has been keeping me up at night for the last few years. I'm actually going to go with a C320 wagon to start and either do the 5.4 or 6.2. Both will require a donor car to be done easier. You are correct the 209 and 203 bits are interchangeable. The gotcha is always going to be the electronics though. So I've opted to search for a 2005 203 as the starting point since it has the upgraded computers/dash. It's going to take me about a year to find the wagon I want. The color I want is Cadet Blue Metallic, which is hard to find.
PS. I wouldn't swap the 6.2 into the C55.. get another w203 to mess around with instead.
If it was a C55, we know 6.2L V8 can fit, as the CLK63 (coupe and cabrio)proves. In fact, I always wondered why nobody ever mentioned doing a 6.2L V8 engine swap on a C55. The only real difference mechanically is that the C55 has the older 5 speed transmission, while the CLK63 has the 7 speed transmission. Electronics.....I don't know about.
Whether his non-AMG tuned transmission and electronics from 2005 will be problematic is another issue. Also, his C230 does not have a CLK front end, which may make fitting the new V8 problematic.
I am actually thinking of doing this swap with my C 55. I heard the clk63(m156) engine and trans will "bolt" right on to the C55 . Along with the ecu, tcu, gauge cluster and even the steering wheel. Just curious to know if anyone has actually done this swap and have proof or pics?
The solution seemed to be extra lubrication on the upper camshafts. Not to mention the
heatsoaked gearbox when pushing it with limp-home-mode as another issue as standard.
-But the sound of it is one of the best out there!!!
Without pics!
