This thing is 100% Mercedes under the hood. It is all there. Everything from the coolant reservior, battery, fuse box and all. A Kleemann Supercharger will fit right on and if has the 3.2, it will make about 320-340hp.

Looking over the Spec. sheet it has the look of a W202 chassis.

5 link rear suspension, dual A-arms with separate spring and shock in front.

Rec-Ball front power steering.

I believe the Crossfire's closest Mercedes relative is the SLK320. Same engine, tranmission, interior pieces, steering linkage, suspension.
