It would be good to know if the exhaust is a full twin pipe to the back, or just the classic muffler with twin outlets?

Yeah, people like to go with "W220 S55", cause they have an idea that, always "W220" is big car with less using mileage,,
if you see in EPC, will notice all "M113 5.4l" sharing the same internal parts, no any difference..
,,ZAYED,,

From what ive heard, its only due to exhaust and ECU mapping. With a tune, all 5.4s in c43s should be making close to the same amount of power.

An engine that sat that long and that needs to be broken into might end up being a more of a headache than a used 100k engine.
Just dont overlook anything and make sure you break her in properly

Picked up the motor in Blaine, WA last Sunday. Brought the motor into CANADA and I was surprised that the applicable duty and taxes only came to $219 CAD.

Very true as the stand has a numbered Mercedes plaque that is riveted to it. I'm guessing that all the details of each motor are linked to the numbered plaque that is on each stand. Assuming that the metal stand is worthless I will probably use it to ship my 4.2L motor if I can't find a local buyer.

Actually, I'm betting that the stand itself is a Mercedes Benz asset. The original dealer was probably supposed to install the engine off of the stand and send the stand back to Mercedes. They may charge the dealer a fee for the stand and then it is refunded when the stand is sent back. I very much doubt that they build or buy a stand for every individual engine, they're most likely considered returnable and reusable.

It's a pretty cool part to have in that regard.

Hi Kowalski. Unfortunately summer is long gone and the rainy fall weather in Vancouver is here. The C43 and motor are hibernating in storage until March now. I will post progress pics once I start. I wish that we didn't have four seasons in B.C. CANADA as June, July and August is never enough of a summer.

hey bud
I put my car to sleep on Thursday, no more driving until next year in April-May 2017.
Dat's such a long waiting time for me!
Summer is over here too BORING! 
Maybe you can do some prepare work on your engine in your garage when you're getting bored during winter season, make it ready for Spring 2017?
Only vörk you have to do is to remove the old engine from your car to plug in the new engine?
