you said that you are in lebanon.i am an automotive engineer and have a work shop in Beirut.sorry but i dont think that your conversion is possible.the electronic ignition system of the w203 is completely different of the w204.the gear box and the differential are also different.also need to see pictures

C55 AMG, 135i, 911 GT3, GLE43 AMG
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 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
