Engine Swap

Hey all,
I was just curious, if the V6 3.5L found within the C350 could be placed into C coupe? Thanks.

yes, Brabus put a 6.1 liter in the coupe.

to answer... its about money as most things are in this world.

i THINK the 3.5's found in alot of the new SLK's and sedan's take up the same space as the 3.2's and that fit in the coupe. Be careful because i have read that the nose was different. Go look at a c class sedan and then look at the c class AMG front.

Yes, it will fit. Only thing that won't fit without major modification is a V8 motor. It will cost you a lot of money. Just buy a used C320 coupe, if you REALLY like the coupe, preferably with the 6 spd manual transmission. It will be faster than a C350 with 7spd, especially if it's been Kleemanized.

Forget the Brabus CV8 coupe with the 6.1 L conversion. I asked them and they wanted a ridiculous price for it. $500,000 LOL I'd rather spend my money on an AMG.
