Welcome! Nice looking AMG. Can you please restate your question? It is not clear to me. Please use shorter sentences. Thanks.

I'm trying to put a 5l engine into my c-43 and I found out that the oil pump has a different number of teeth on its gear

Are you trying to use the original oil pump in the new 5L engine?

Can you use an oil pump from the 5L engine?

The oil pan won't fit on the car using the original oil pan from the 5l engine so I have to use the oil pan from the 4.3 L engine but then the pickup is in the wrong location...... and when I try to use the 4.3 L oil pump in the 5l engine the sprocket on the chain is smaller so I have excess slack in the chain I'm not sure if I should install it that way

It sounds like you have an expensive engineering project on your hands. What was the decision making process to use the 5L engine?

No availability on 5.5 liter engines at the time and I was short on funds so I purchased a 5-liter instead
