this would be a beast with the 55 motor and 350+ hp
though honestly you'd be better off buying an SRT-6 unless you just wanted to be a unique pioneer!!
My engine is not a 430, it is a 500 from a CL500 that was totaled in the rear alomost as soon as it left the showroom and has over 300hp stock. the 5.5L is more desireable than the 5.0 I have. And yes i paid under $2K for a virtually brand new engine. It was a rare find, but with patience you can find similar deals. to use this engine in a Crossfire you will still need the C43/CLK55 exhuast manifolds and maybe a different intake/engine cover from a car with the dual filters built into the cover.
