Good read on some of these engines' details: http://www.marcusfitzhugh.com/CLK/M278.html
Looks like the crank and rods are forged... But also looks like the turbos are welded to the manifolds...

Here is the cutaway setup from the 5.4 bi-turbo.

65 Chevelle Wagon w/ C5 frame, 08 ML63, 04 S600, 04 E55,(sold) 00 ML55,(sold) 98 C43-55K Swap
Has any one swapped on the 63's 5.4 turbos on yet? I assume there larger than the ones on the 550's 4.6?

I have a friend of the family with his own little shop in fontana, baseline road. He has 2 lifts, and he shares his spot with a smog check business.
He can do practically anything I need for him to do.. brakes, rotors, oil, trans, rear end diff, anything..
let me know if you need something installed or maint. I can send you his number on Private Mssg.
usually I buy the parts and he charges me labor... much cheaper than the bigger shops.
