Sunday was the fun day. Putting it in and getting it all together. Unfortunately my exhaust manifolds never came in so we're not finished buttoning it all up but for the most part it was ready. We realized as soon as we tried to drop it in that the motor mount brackets are different from the C32 amg to the crossfire's so with the tranny connected (we didnt want to go through that pain again) we needed to swap those.















Overall me and one other guy did all of it in about 20 hours.

Now we just need to figure out how to get it started lol.




EDIT: Some note's to help..
- All accessories can be swapped over (AC compressor, alternator (bigger reccomended eventually), Power steering pump, starter, tensioner)
- Alternator to starter needs to be lengthened by almost nothing. Two joining connectors with alan bolt downs that were about 1" ea. with wire cut just enough to fit in one end of each was a little too much. You can work with it though and it's better than trying to stretch it.
- AC compressor lines don't need to be cut but you need to be careful not to pinch the line.
- Oil pan upper and lower swap + oil pump if it isn't the same style as the crossfires.
- Every input vaccum, fuel, etc.. line needs to be swapped to the V8.
