Default Re: Hemi Crossfire Conversion

I hear you too. If you could only see my other car. It's absolutely nuts. I wanted all kinds of stuff and have been in the process of putting it all together.

I just got my custom wheels in for it. I'll work on my AMG brake conversion Sunday.



As for the AMG 5.4 motor, look for any Mercedes with a 55 on the back. A CLK 55 is a great choice. It was available with 340-something hp from '98 to '02 and then a little more in the 2002 and later. The SLK 55 is 2005 and newer. The E-class, CL-class, and S-class were all packing the same motor as the CLK until the end of 2002. In 2003, they all got supercharged motors in the 460 to 496 range depending upon the chassis. The G-class packs the 496 hp motor too.
Unfortunately, the SLK 55, CLK 55, and C 55 all use the naturally aspirated variant.
