Actually a quite simple and efficient CAI. Just a short Y pipe connected to 2 K&N filters that are isolated from the engine bay heat by a cowling. And a scoop fabricated into the windshield wiper troff that draws cold air from the base of the windshield. And all fits without modification to the hood.

here you go bud https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ad.php?t=18674

 

thanks bossman, im working on having it moved from this thread to that one so theres no confusion amongst the forum members. So hang in tight and as soon as the upper management gets to it no one will have to read about an engineswap aforementioned in a thread about another engine swap.

 

Make that 9 months.........

 

This would be a first ... Very very nice...

Good luck.

 

Y'know - I've wanted to say this for a long time....

 

This is a very interesting thread. I didn't see any answers regarding whether a V8 conversion would work with a manual car. I assume the engine bolt pattern is the same for both automatics and manuals. The biggest problem I see is to find a flywheel to bolt onto the Mercedes V8. As far as I know, Mercedes does not offer a manual transmission behind their V8. Can the V6 flywheel be adapted to the V8? Does anyone make a generic balanced flywheel that can be drilled for the Mercedes crankshaft?

Once the flywheel issue has been solved, the biggest problem I see is to remove the crankshaft and have it machined to accept a pilot bearing.

This thread may not be the proper place, but has anyone swaped in a Mercedes 3.5 liter v6 from a 350 model? These have 268-306HP. That may be an easy swap for almost SRT-6 power.

 

Brabus used to throw 350 v8's in r170 SLK's. Look on youtube or streetfire and you will find a topgear with one.

 

wow this is an interesting thread, an update would be nice
