I cant decide either, Originally I thought I would never change to C55 because it isn't a genuine one...but since having installed every major part from CLK55/C55 and dont run the C43 kit I'm now leaning towards the re-badge..
Definitely keep the badge's though

My friend just updated me with the progress. The 5.4 is complete with wiring harness, and oil pans transferred. All seals redone as well. Just needs to be thrown into the car
Very excited

nemam dovoljno dineros to buy the engine, have to find the proper specimen first, most cars in my country were thrashed autobahn stiffs with fake odometers many of these cars ended up in Sweden and finally hit the junkyards.
it's a big no no buying an engine from one of these dead cars!

What sort of 0-60, 1/4 times are you seeing with the 5.4 swap? I've been doing some searching, and maybe I haven't dug deep enough, but I don't see slips or anything posted. Anyone drag their C55?

The stock ecu has been reflashed and it adopted to the new engine perfectly so far. My friend test drove it for 30-40 miles and it all works flawlessly. The thing is a beast according to him and hes owned a w211 e55 before and is currently driving a 996 turbo. I didnt thing my car would feel fast to him but he says it reminds him of his e55. Im so anxious to drive it.
Ill report back with first impressions. Should have it any day now

Oh man, I can't wait for an update. Long term goals for the '43. I'd love to do the swap. Take a video, if you can. Maybe capturing acceleration, passing power, the wonderful noise it makes?

Shes back and shes an absolute joy to drive. 60 to 100 happens before you can realize. The car is able to burn tires off the line with no effort. I still havent gunned it all the way either
Ill try to get some videos over the weekend.
