The V8 will not fit on the C32, you have to swap the front of the car with C55 one or W209. it's an expensive project, to buy the 55k engine/transmission/diff with all ECU's plus convert the front of the car.
i went the easiest/cheapest way for me, i didn't touch any electrical component.

And there is a dynamic (or effective) compression ratio, which takes into account the effect of the closing of the intake valve on mechanical (static) compression ratio.

To clarify, you are checking cranking pressure (psi, atm, bar, etc) , not (static) compression ratio (y:x)

I think Eurocharged made only 3 to 5 long tube headers before they stopped production of them.

That's going to look awesome. Are you going to use the E55k intake or do you have something better? Do you think the transmission or rear end will have any issues with the added hp?

i don't think the c32 transmission will handle the new hp/tq, i have found an used 55k transmission at about 1200$, i will buy it.

there is no place in the rear (firewall) to put the y pipe so no 55 intake and also to make room for top mount ic, maybe i'll put a foam filter directly on the tb, but i am concerned about heat in the engine bay, i'll see.

Be careful with the axles and driveshaft, hopefully they can with stand the added hp. I think PTE's supercharged clk55 twisted an axle and I remember the reading about the E55 converted to a 65 twisted the driveshaft, but he added a huge amount of torque to the car, so you might be ok there. If only we could drop in the complete rear end of an E55.

There is a promising axle related thread in the 211 AMG section.
