This is how i spend my 300th post...
I would say nope. then i would say anything is possible. If this is just a friendly debate with a friend to prove an argument then you wave your answer.
If this was something you thought about doing when you were drunk; totally understandable.
If this is something you want to do for real.... Its so not worth it your talking a motor that's like $40,000+ C32 is highly moddable and you can get a blistering fast 32 at a fraction of the cost and with less of a headache.
Anyway these types of threads are done all the time and there are some people who have done motor swaps in this forum so anything is kinda possible.
Wait for the LET Twin Turbo kit I'm sure if will make gobs of power. Plus C63's only put down like 340ish WHP you an get that out of a C32 with some bolt-on mods

Hooley thanks for clearing that up.
Old Navy dont feel bad, one can dream
However a E55 motor is being put in a C55 which is more of a reality. In fact Sunil is attempting this now. I'm sure there are some complications, but it looks almost done and I cant wait to see it. This will set you back a chuck of dollars tho'.
Old Navy as you read on more posts, you will see what can be done and what can be, it will take a while to absorb a lot of the information. Be sure to look over old posts too which will help. There's a lot here and of course it will take time but be patient
Happy Modding!

03 g35 coupe...........02 c32 Sold
hooley is right. power for you buck your better off waiting for LET to finish there twin turbo kit. $6k for something that'll hit close to 400-500whp.
plus the size of the c63 engine, i doubt you can fit it without having to move the firewall back. You would have a better shot with the c55 since it has the clk front.

If you're really serious, it certainly seems possible IF you change the C32 front end to a C55 or CLK55/63 front end.
Remember, there already is a standard W209 non black series CLK63 coupe (sold outside of N. America). Since the W203 chassis is almost identical to the W209, we know the 6.2L V8 and 7 speed AMG Speedshift transmission will fit, as long as the front end comes from a C55 or W209 CLK car so that the engine can fit. The standard W203 front end (that the C32 comes with) is not long/high enough to fit the 5.4 L V8 or the 6.2L V8.

Its true you will find this site to be filled with vast amounts of modding info. This is on of the friendliest forum I personal have ever been on and I hope you find it hat way too. So what ever you do don't be afraid to ask your questions Alot of us on here are deep into the modding game so if you got any questions just ask. Someone will send you in the right direction. Using the search function you will find just about everything from "why your car has no dipstick" to part numbers of parts you didn't know your car had.
But... if you want to talk about a c63 motor in a c32 go for it we will be here to chime in. But anyway it would be killer if you could fit it.

the only reason i ask is cuz i can get the motor and tranny for free. my buddy has one but it got totalled a couple weeks ago so the car is sitting in the back yard. last week i picked up a clk 63 black series white on black thats my next car to mod. we just got done moding my dads sl63 so i was just thinking of making my c32 like no one else has
