[QUOTE=velociabstract;964761]So here's the update on the AMG engine transplant so you guys & gals don't have to go thru the hell I did. First off, manual transmission with the AMG engine is a major problem. The bolt pattern on the crankshaft flange between the two engines is different and a new flywheel / pressure plate from a 2006 C230 Sport Coupe must be used,

This is really interesting and the first time I’ve read that the mating of manual transmission has been accomplished. Maybe I’ve been living inter a rock.

I’ve tried to search posts for more detail but have been unable to locate Would you be able to post any images of the build and end result or attach a link to the build process thread. This is definitely worth looking into.

I’ve always thought this pairing was impossible. Learn something new everyday.
