Hi,

the Crossfire 55 AMG V8 is born. On the picture you will see an 5.5 V8 AMG engine inside an Crossfire that I set up in the last weeks. The car drive and all mechanical/electrical stuff is done and works well.

regards from Germany

Sounds awesome. Congrats, love to take that for a ride!!
How about a pic with the engine cover off?

OH LORD this will not go well you will be bombarded with questions like DYNO, ECU, TUNING.


first and foremost thank you for your efforts and hope you share your knowledge with us.

what are your plans in the future do i sense you might be boosting the engine soon and blowing by srt6 like they are standing still lol.


also is this an auto or manual and how did you go about programming the ecu

thanks

 

Will you marry my daughter?

I'll send pictures!

I foresee much $$ in your future...

 

lol LMFAO that was classic

 

Very tight fit !!!!
Great job

 

That is so TRICK!! Nice work.... Please post more pictures (showing details) and a video on youtube if you can.

Also provide the details of how you did this engine swap; the problems and solutions. There's a member who has been planning to this type of V8 engine swap for a long time (even purchased a motor) and I'm sure your experience would help out.

 

can you give us an idea of cost and parts involved like oil pan, ecu epromm programming, drive shaft

 

That looks like fun!
Agree with the others...more info and photos.

 

Das ist schön. Bitte versorgen Sie mehr Bilder und technischer Rat. Wie schnell ist es?

 

Do you have any leg room in your car? JOKE!

That really looks like a tight fit!!!

Did you lower the engine in? or lower the car onto ther engine?

Man you should just do a write up on the project!

Or ship your car to the US! and I will pay for you a flight on priceline.com

 

Hi boys,

I'm afraid the engine cover on the photo is not a V8 engine one, it's like a C36 AMG which is not a V8.

I'm sorry, but it seems to be a fake Grrrr .
Keep your serious boy, we don't have time for laugh, will get big smile when real swap will be done with real photo.

I invite you on this thread, I'm posting new pics : https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...014#post366014

Hi Karim,
you couldn't be more wrong...
Same car - different picture - just count the ignition coils:


Now lets just wait until Max gets back here before making wrong assumptions. He's probably pretty busy answering to the many questions in the various boards he posted this news.

 

I'm in awe! At first I thought it wasn't real. I guess they have many more MBZ resources and experience in these transplants.

Das rocks!

 

That engine sure looks tight in that engine bay - and it does appear to have 4 coils packs on the driver side valve cover....

 

As much as I hope this is true, we really need to see this with the engine cover off......... pleeeeeeez!

 

yeah when i zoomed in big time i looks like there is 4 coil pack on there but if only the op would throw a pic without the engine cover and a video it will put all our doubts to rest.

 

Cool job and very unique...but I still want to see a E55K motor in there making some SERIOUS power.

 

Congrats, nice job!
Will you marry my daughter? ... I just blew Pepsi out of my nose! Classic.

 

Looks like a V8 to me. the C36 is a straight six. The engine cover looks like C43 AMG V8 but that cover may have been used on early 55's as well, or it could have been a ML55 engine with a C43 engine cover. also look how close the the front cylinders are to the fan shrowd. Aslo look at the fan shroud which looks just like the one in the Startech V8 and not OEM Crossfire. I can also see the oil cooler on the filter housing which is unique to AMG engines. It's legit IMO. I hope he puts something up on You tube.
