c55 with s class tt 5.5 v8?
C55 with the 5.5 tt v8, the m159 I think. Has anyone done this or tried or seen anything on this?

I think you mean the M157. The M159 is for the SLS only me thinks. I haven't personally heard of anyone doing this and would doubt that it has been attempted due to the M157 only being introduced in the 2011 model year. For that matter I don't even recall anyone transplanting the N/A M156.

it's not easy, i know that for sure. i read about the m157 engine a while back and the engineering behind the ecu and man is it mind boggling. take a read sometime and look at what exactly it does besides just being fast. then imagine trying to integrate that into our cars. of course as i always say, with the right amount of money, anything is possible.

You know with the turbos plumbed to the rear with water cooled top mount aftercoolers simular to the slr's coolers could be doable!
