c43 engine size

Is the engine bay or whatever its called the same size as the c280, year 97? In the future I am looking to do an engine swap and I was wondering if a V8 kom is possible for a c280, if c43 can have it then can c280?

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
dude, youre killing me with all these questions... but yes, it can work... with HEAVY modification. which makes me doubt you will do it, considering you cant even settle on an exhaust.
