The M278 TT was never installed in W204, you realize this, correct? What is your plan for exhaust including turbos and exhaust manifolds? There will probably be a challenge getting the front axle centerline where it needs to be for the front knuckles/uprights. You will need to use a transmission/transfer case assembly that works with M278, which then establishes the front axle centerline relative to the engine block/oil pan. What about engine height? Will it fit between the front suspension crossmember and steering rack, and the hood?
So many questions.

Looks great. The M273 is a shorter stroke and smaller displacement engine than the M156 which was fitted in the W204 from MB.
Not surprising the smaller M273 fits in the large hole created for the M156.
Do more homework on the M278/M157 and tell us what you find.

Motor has been out for 3 days. Doing test fitment and transferring accessories to the v8 motor. I’ll make a new thread when I make real progress. All I need is my ECU to come in. I also have the other set of wheels for the rear when I finish (gold all around for a uniform look).
