Okay guys I have a base model Xfire with a 6-speed manual transmission and I was wondering what Mercedes engines would fit into my xfire as a project. I've heard a lot of people actually doing this successfully. I don't know how hard it is going to be to find a engine by itself either so right now it is in the planning process. It would really help if anyone one had any suggestions or comments thanks .

 

I responded to your other thread...Lantana did the swap....search for V-8 Crossfire Conversion Diary...

 

+1

I don't know of MANY people that have done swaps to a V8, in fact Lantana is the only one... Though HDDP did put a SRT-6 engine in his N/A eons ago...He hasn't been on in forever, too busy making movies and such.

 

the new 3.7 motors swap real nice and are a real fun stepping stone for power

 

You should be able to get an SLK 320 to fit.

 

LMAO, you think??

 

I think the one from the C320 or E320 might fit too. Wiring shouldn't be to much of an issue either.

 

How about that AMG Bi turbo 12, that should fit! lol Oh I wish I had one!!!!

 

The Chevy Chevette engine was a very reliable motor. Being a four cylinder, it' should fit easily AND since it's Carburetor-type, no messy computer problems!

 

Call this guy.
