5.0 Coyote Swap?

Does anyone know of whether it's possible on the W204 to swap in a 5.0 Coyote engine? Would like to do mods because the power of the C300 is so low but there seems to be no performance mod market for this car. Just a flash to get up to C350 power levels... Yeah I could get a C43 or C63 but I think in the long run I could get more performance per dollar this way (if I wanted to do things like add a supercharger etc.)

I am also interested in shops that do high quality work / are capable of figuring out how to make everything work right. Wouldn't want to swap out the engine and have things like gauges not working etc.

Maybe what I'm asking isn't possible and I know it's expensive but curious in exploring any options.

Is that a platform with lots of mods available? I checked the price of used engines and definitely looks like a much cheaper way to get started modding than the Ford motor.

Almost 400hp dude, otherwise just buy a 63 or a mustang and don't waste your time.

Considering how cheap the newest gen mustangs are going im not sure why you'd even bother with this if thats what youre looking for.

I used to have an 08 Mustang GT (before the 5.0 was out) with a Paxton Novi 2200 on it. Loved that car... but I also really love the look of the Mercedes exterior and interior. Also, it would be fun to have a sleeper and a car where the sky is the limit when it comes to performance mods (so long as the mods fit under the hood ...)

Sure there is the C63 but if the trend of not being able to mod is the same as the m272 and m273 then it’s another power ceiling.
