Think I'm going to part out my 01 W208 clk55. Did what I set out to accomplish and then some. I'm gonna list what I am selling (plus any OEM pieces) and if I get an offer that's reasonable I will sell. Just PM me what you're willing to pay for it and save us both time. If it's unreasonable don't even bother. Everything is in working condition and can even take buyer for a drive if they want proof prior to purchase. Car was at track yesterday too and set a new 55 record et and trap speed 9.6 and 146mph full interior so you know it's making power (next quickest is about half a second behind). Would sell car complete for the right price.

Built motor- Darton sleeved 55k block, custom Carrillo rods, custom Weistec pistons, ARP head studs, ported 55k heads with custom bronze valve guides and increased spring pressure. If someone wants to buy the bottom end and another person the heads I can split them. Approximately 1k miles on the setup used all new bolts and gaskets when assembling.

Weistec supercharger with 90mm throttle body and custom ported sc inlet

Southern hotrod built transmission

CCW polished drag pack including skinnies and Hoosier drag radials 255/50/16

CCW matte black center polished lip 16" rear wheels with Hoosier drag radials but a nail in one of the tires. I would recommend replacing the tire

SRT8 Differential with wavetrac lsd. Has custom cover and mounts made for my clk so you would have to use your stock mounts and rear cover

Factory W208 CLK55 diff with Quaife LSD

Custom stainless steel W208 CLK55 headers with 3" outlets. Will need custom exhaust made to mate to it. If you can pick it up I will include the mild steel exhaust for free (with purchase of headers)

KW V2 suspension (some signs of rust on springs but fully functioning). I believe KW has a lifetime warranty but I have to look into that

Carbon fiber driveshaft

Custom 1500+hp axles with custom splined hubs and billet Diff cups

Staggered 19" Volk LE37 wheels with some curbage. Rear tires should be replaced as well

Dual 044 Bosch fuel pumps with lines and fittings (lines may not be same length for your car) and a Weldon fuel pressure regulator for a return system.

Eurocharged heat exchanger

Custom trunk inter cooler reservoir for 1" lines

Carlsson RS replica front bumper and rear bumper. Front is molded to factory AMG bumper for perfect fitment. Will need body work and paint.

Lorinser decklid and roof spoilers

Brembo GT front BBK- fresh pads but will need new rotors and powdercoat calipers for new appearance.

Prefer local buyers in the MD/DC/VA area so they can see what they are buying but willing to ship at buyers expense. Everything sold as is and parts are proven to work

Are you local to MD? If so, feel free to come take a look in person. Bette rthan pics ever will be. Otherwise shipping a bumper will be $$$

Sorry guys I've sold the built engine and trans and decided to put a stock 49k mile E55 engine and trans in the car and drive it for a while. If things change and I decide to part the rest out I will post up

Were the heads sold too, or just the bottom end. Can you provide more details around the gains you saw with your head work? I'm thinking about doing this with my supercharged SLK55.

OK, here's a wishlist:
A-pillar covers
Glove box door and lower instrument panel covers
Center console
Aluminum AMG Trim Package (door accents, shift accent, glove compartment accent, radio bezel)

Thanks!
