What's up guy

any one can help me with my c300 2008
i have a problem with c300 but i want to swap a C63 motor
Can i do it?
is the wheel and the engine bay the same ?

C300S 6MT

might as well swap cars...

wnunez89

Id put money on it that it doesnt fit. cheaper and less stress buying a used c63 I guess, or doing a turbo setup.

Tung

But if i have the motor c63 and the hardnass,can i put it in the c300

wnunez89

It doesnt hurt to try. if you already have everything why not try and make it work.

Tung

Ok,but the basement of engine Bay and the wheel is the same, that i can swap it

Hopefully you have the whole donor car at your disposal. Drive train, wiring, control modules etc. Oh ya and a whole lot of time on your hands.

wnunez89

if you pull it off you'll be a saint. did you buy the v8? im sure that was a pretty penny. post some pictures of your progress and good luck

Absolutely impossible. To begin with, the engine is longer and won't fit in the engine compartment.

There are so many other reasons.........

wnunez89

thats what I was thinking, hence why the hood is longer on the c63 and the fenders are different. also I believe you would need to do transmission work.

You will need to swap the engine, trans, entire drive train, body harness, SAM modules, etc. It should fit (with new motor mounts, hood, front end body parts), but like was said earlier - you will really need the entire donor car to even attempt this and try to get it right. There may be some additional metal work that might be needed to be done.

But, it would be probably easier and more cost efficient to trade your in on a C63. Now if you already have purchased the engine, well that is start.

Nuru

In the past, I had the chance to take a very hard look at one sitting right next to a basic C300 sport.

Different:
brakes (heavier duty)
Suspension components (heavier duty)
Motor mounts (heavier duty and different types and mounting positions)
Bodywork - same chassis though
computer (s)
Body harness
IC
SAMs (the one in the rear changes even when you have the roll-up blinds on a basic C300), so when the changes are this drastic, there are a lot more differences.


lotta work - did you blow your engine and got one from a C63 - dirt cheap.

Do you think its like a "kit" or something that you just go in and pickup a C63 engine on a parts shelf, like a bluetooth retrofit kit or something? this cannot be done, impossible, unless your willing to spend somewhere in the range of a new C63 to butcher your C300 to have one hell of a mess of a car. Is this a joke?

If you already own the C63 engine, i'd sell it and the C300 and just buy the entire C63. Trying to make it work would be a royal pain in the a$$. You're not going to beat factory built. Plus, if your C300 is still under warranty, you could probably kiss that goodbye. Good luck regardless and let us know what you decide.

Its not impossible, I have done it, but you have to swap everything, ECU, SAMS, Harness,, Ignition, Hood, fenders, bumpers, everything, etc

Calm your attitude, why the hell are you so offended by somebody asking a valid question..? This is the type of thing that should make you question if you have a life. Just say you don't think it's possible and move on..

Steven Baez

Exactly, no need for the attitude, just saying it was done because I did it, and it came out awesome.

Alfadude

I would hope that in the last 8 years since he posted this he would have calmed down......................

Steven Baez

I hope so, I wouldn't want him to stress out all these years, lol.

BTFanC300

Lol only realized how old that was after I wrote the reply

Steven Baez

Its ok, no big deal, but I did manage to do an engine swap in a C300 from a C63, very intense work and time consuming, this type of work is not for everyone..

Man all advice I can give you is you better be technically capable to modify anything that needs to be modified to get done what you have in mind, and if you never had a hand on a spanner thats a lot of learning to do, and when you finished, will you get it licensed, the authorities got more clever over the years too.
