2013 E350
w212 engine swap
Hi all,
First post here, so ill jump to the chase.
I currently own and daily drive a 2013 E350, and I recently have been afforded the opportunity to buy a e63 AMGs, which was totaled out by insurance because it was inside of a building which burned down. It runs and drives, no error codes at all, everything is perfect, except for burn marks and melted bumper, everything is mechanically sound, runs and drives perfectly, it wasnt in the fire for very long, and the interior is factory fresh. Would it be possible to motor swap the e63 amg s into the e350 body?
How tangible is this idea?
What other steps may be required?
Thanks all for your help!

Also AMG might have a stronger transmission but again I’m not sure.

If the E63 is in as good of condition as you say then why yank the motor. As Arrie said I would repair the exterior's blemishes and have a full blown E63 to drive, even if the title is branded now.

That might be pretty badass looking.....the whole "murdered out" look is so tired and played out....how about "burned out"?

As the others have noted, it will cost far less to restore the E63 AMG than to put its engine in another car. It's not just the cost of the physical exchange of parts (engine/tranny/exhaust), but the costs to reprogram the entire car to accept the AMG engine will be cost-prohibitive. My guess is that for the price of the required reprogramming alone, you can spend that money instead to restore the E63.

Fresh coat of clear over the burn marks with some sick flame decals and you are livin' the dream! But no, really, it is likely better to just fix the AMG. I'd imagine a salvage title AMG would be worth more than a "AMG swapped" E350 in the long run anyway. And besides you could sell the E350 to pay for the AMG.
