I was off track - I was thinking about a more mundane 5.0 motor not an AMG motor. But it was Speedybenz that made a comment about his 5.5 not revving past 5K rpm like the C43 motor. I guess that's a bit surprising to me....do you find that also?
I'm sure your car is bloody fast...because the C43 is not too shabby.

The thing that does impress me about the performance of my car is how it's able to compete with some of the popular 400 to 400hp+ cars topend. I have a set of cylinder heads coming so when that's tinkered with we'll really see how she likes that.

Are the AMG cams not available for purchase? Cant you do a simple cam swap to a non amg 5.5 motor? Or am I missing something?

C55 conversion isn't worth the extra money. Why so interested in the w202? What's wrong with the w203 C55? It's got everything a C43 has and more... Even if you get a C43, I wouldn't mod it to get C55 specs.

Looks like those seats are a little over 3 grand a piece. Yikes

Why wouldn't you?? the 202 is lighter then the 203, and by putting an E55 engine (which has more torque then the C55 engine) in a C43, it would definitly beat the C55 anyways!! Makes totally more sense...

The main point in my argument against the swap would be the amount of money you would ultimately have to pay for such an engine swap. The price of the engine plus labor will cost someone well over the price of a nicely used w203 c55.

I definitely do not see the W203 interior as an upgrade. Feature wise, such as having navigation, it would be better, but not at all in terms of fit and finish or materials. Some people also prefer the W202.
