I believe the c55, same vintage as a c230k, had a larger engine compartment to fit the v8. Pretty sure it's documented somewhere on this forum.

The engine will physically fit. You will need custom motor mount brackets. You will also need C43/CLK430/55 exhaust manifolds and down pipes, and you might need to move the steering box down. depends what year your C is.
Look at crossfire guys who do the swap and also my swap on SLKworld. the short story is - go standalone, it will save you sooooo much hassle, and I already have a tune you can use.

I've never heard of a steering box on a W203 before. Do tell?
