Many ways to do it.. all depends what car was donor and the configuration of oil pump. Sway bar also matters... Pickup tube distance from oil pan floor.. you have to configure all with different pieces to get great results..

I haven’t thoroughly looked yet, but I’m surprised I haven’t come across a detailed swap thread. These cars are almost 20 years old now! Seems like the hardest part is finding a donor M113k for a reasonable price.

That, the ECU reprogram, and the oil pump\sump seem to be the only points of difficulty.

This swap has been accomplished a few times. Blackbenzz has done it with best results.
I believe only have to swap over the W208 pan and pump. W211 has staged high volume pump with custom screen.
Alternative for high Hellcat HP applications would be an external dry sump and external race pump, Not that difficult to plumb into the W208 pan.

We need a sticky for a W208 M113K swap thread! I'm fairly new to the board so it's not like I know the members that have successfully done this, who reprograms/tunes ECU's, oil pan & pickup differences, etc. Yes I know there's a search function, but it would be nice to compile the info in one place.

I know that posts like this get a lot of fishing for details, but I'm glad to see a shop post up their work. For others, there are some swap threads in C55 and more lower down here. I think late R129s would be cool swaps too but CLK55 is most active in this discussion.
Earlier threads and years always lead people to just say "too hard" and install a Kleeman. Well it's a legit option if stock m113k levels of power are your ultimate goals. I have both a Kleeman and a couple m113k. In today's market adding $14k in a Kleeman to a $14k CLK55 is hard to justify for 500hp. This is no slam on Kleeman, but as our cars have depreciated, the general performance car industry has partially caught up.
Today, I think the S55 and CLS55 make great donors. And the C55_Slk55 and CKk55 are lighter simpler and cheaper to maintain and hot rod.
As Eurowork has suggested you need a hybrid oil pump and possibly hybrid oil pan. And I'm partially convinced some one w Star in the end to correct some errors, edit TCU, adjust for diff ratio as I'd prefer the Clk/C55 gear for hot rod. Exhaust is a non issue, HE needs to be selected correctly for clearances.
Euroworks....if only you werent so far away I'd be at your door step on a free day. Eurocharge offers similar feats and results but the cost envelope is cloaked in a foggy haze.
Thanks again for posting!
