not sure that there are any secrets, aside from the engine/tran swap... you have to change the electronic control modules and wiring harness. this is not a simple plug and play like the 5.4 and attempting to reprogram the computer is probably more work/more expensive than just swapping out all the modules.
aside from the c43 in the video posted above, check out this M113K Crossfire anyway article says it took more than 1000 man hours to crack the computer
I think m113k is more desirable because of internals. you can hit up the crossfire guy, but he is definitely a for-profit outfit if you are looking to do diy. otherwise, the answer is yes it can be done if if you are looking to just throw money at a project.
from a diy standpoint it makes sense to me anyway, but I'm not willing to pay someone to do it
a thought on a more current type of project might be installing batteries and electric motors on a c43. the world's first all electric w202

The electric w202 exists. I saw some photos recently. Let me see if I can pull out a link... I found a photo on IG but unfortunately no details. The vehicle runs Stuttgart plates. I guess this needs a new thread.

+1,
M113K into C43 really not worth it,
need a damn lot of job with more $$$$$..!!,
prefer Kleemann SC,
my friend done that 4 years ago, lot of Elec. with ECU file issues, he forced after a while..!,,
he end it up with "Kleemann SC/headers/cams/bigger injectors/(82mm) TB/LSD diff./Sl600 gearbox/ECU-TCU tune"..
to answer your question, I am running it with the stock ME2.0 tuned by EUROCHARGED. Using a MAF. So I didn't swap the e55 ecu etc. But i am using the engine, with a custom oil pump setup and the trans (722.643)

cool, so how do you control boost? if I'm not mistaken, the newer ECU regulates the boost.
I have a one piece billet block off in place of the bypass throttle body, also running a solid front pulley. So no regulation of boost is possible other than throttle input. Car is running and driving, getting few more things ironed out and custom exhaust built. Car drives great, shifts pretty hard ( likes spins the tires on a 1-2 shift with barley any throttle). Will have afr gauge on soon and will be able to figure out whats going on with the tune.

very cool, there was another member here that dropped the m113k into his c43 and ran stand alone controls. I can tell you everyone here is super interested in this build, stay active please!!!!
Hi G60wall,
i am in the process of swapping my c43 with a 55 from a CLK 2003. I have a problem with the oil pump. The 43 one doesn’t align with the other engine?
how did you solve this problem? Any info would be great

Do you have photos and info on your custom oil pump setup?
thanks
