If you were going to transplant an engine, use an E63. Would be a weapon with a C body and AWD.

Thanks for the reply man ! No the option available now is this one. The steering wheel is on its right side so it's not usable here. So it's sold at a low cost which is tempting. I've got a GLC43 which recently had an accident and need to change parts so i was considering buying this car and replacing 70-80 % of the car with stock parts from this GLC63S! Is it possible to transplant a "m177" engine instead of "m276"?

M177 will not fit the C43 as the C63 is way wider, you will need to do a LOT of work to make it fit. It will be cheaper to buy a brand new C63

I am not sure about the width but it is longer in length. Its like around 1 inch longer. You can clearly see it in the pictures of a c63 where it has an extender frame.

You are not correct. There are physical modifications to the engine Bay and body work. You are aware that the C63 ebgine bay and hood is actually longer due to the bigger size of the M177?
Then there is all the engine management, accesories, fueling, harnesses, modules, etc. and other million little things you would need to do that would make it fit and work.

Uhm, you sure you want to add a new engine in that car? Seems to need a lot more than a new engine. Glad you are okay but that car looks totaled from rolling over...maybe bent frame, chassis, roof panels, doors....who knows what and it may be broken.

lol , i do indeed. In my country sanctioned are enabled LoL so it's difficult to repair this car with a normal cost. I was considering this tho. Importing an auctioned car and replacing all parts necessary. I was also considering the engine so that's why I asked. Repairman here is sure that it can be done but I was dubious a bit that's why I asked

Not just the engine, I'm considering all parts that are broken. I can't change chassis number but I can change the one in the engine lol
