I don't know if he has all the bugs worked out yet, but I think he's been pretty busy filming TV shows.
SRT engine has a different crankshaft bolt pattern and needs to be mated with a flywheel from a C230 sport coupe' with a manual transmission. Honestly, if you are going to do this, you're going to need a deep pocket and lots of patience. It's easier to mate the SRT engine to a standard XF for many reasons... The BIG one is that your SRT6 ECU relies on a very specific set of sensor signals from the auto trans to run properly... I GUESS WE ARE BACK TO THE BIG PROBLEM THE ECU & PCM... In 4 years I have not found ANYONE able to modify the ECU & PCM of this car to bypass ANY system sensor. I went with MOTEC M600 and threw the BOSCH in the trash...
