05 Mercedes Benz c230 kompressor
Thumbs down Best engine swap for a 05 c230k?????

I was wondering what engine and transmission will fit my car. I wanna swap a different engine with lower miles or rebuilt. I was looking into either a 2jz swap or rb26dett swap or a 4g63 . Has anyone on here done a engine swap on there w203? A friend of mine suggested going with a N54 from a 335I BMW. Feel like he suggested that since he has a twin turbo 335I. Said the motor is really reliable and can take up to 800hp with the stock motor. He's pushing about 740hp on his all stock block just went from twin to a big single turbo. What are y'all suggestions?? Please only serious answers.

Lol don't get your car diagnosed at autozone, but based on the symptoms in your other thread it sounds like a blown head gasket. That's a blind internet guess. You need to pay for a good diagnosis.

The only serious answer to this ridiculous question is that there is no way in hell you will be swapping any other motor into that car. You can't just change to whatever motor you want. Take your car to a real mechanic. This motor swap stuff is outrageous and foolish.

Change your plugs and your problems will be gone or at least reduced. You probably have a small valve cover gasket leak, but it's probably not a big deal.
