I love my 2012 C250 Coupe, but the performance is just not there. I cannot afford a C63 but would love to have that performance without the higher cost for the car and insurance. I'm thinking about swapping a perfectly good 1.8L turbo for an Chevy LS3 V8. This way I can get the performance I desire for the car I love. Anyone know of someone who did this? Looking for advice and ideas

 

If you're going to go through all that trouble to try to fit a LS3, you might as well go all out and do the LT4. That way you're not longing for more power.

Did you ever swap out that engine to get more power?

 

you should talk to Blood Motor Sports
