Wow, 349 hp and 332 lb/ft, that's impressive!
Will these numbers likely be the same or better after transplant?

They should be better with all the upgrades. Looking to be around 400hp.

Definitely hitting all the meets once I get the car back. I also swapped out the tranny, TCU, rear diff, rear axle shafts, and driveshaft off of a donor C32.

Well, for now I am using my stock fuel pump to get everything going. I have a lead on a used one, but they won't ship it because it's considered "hazardous". I have to drive 4hrs to Maryland to pick it up. Driving 4hrs there and 4hrs back might be worth it since the pump brand new is $930 through parts.com.

Yup, a 550 motor would have been sweet. I would have still had to upgrade my driveline though. The 320 wouldn't have stood up too well.

I'm kind of swamped with work so I don't know if I could make it this week for a sound clip. I am definitely not getting much sleep these days. I'm really looking forward to that first ride.

i dont understand why you had to get these parts if the C32 & SLK32 is basically the same engine i will have to talk with my mechanic..

question: did your Engine come with the ECU?

but its kool you got everything needed!.

Nope, no ECU with the motor. The motor came only with the SLK wiring harness. I was told to get the parts from a C32 since that was the closest to the CLK. I would have had to purchase all those parts anyway because the motor came without them. You're one step ahead with that.
