Will the trannys even match up? or the motor mounts? Doesnt seem worth it when C36s are goin for cheap these days and that will outrun a 430

I couldn't understand one word of that babble you just spewed, English class, did you take it?

So you want to put a 4.3 motor in your 2.8 car?

Yes you will need a bigger radiator.

if u can get the full electrical harness its easy and get the auto and rear dif too u need them all and it will fit and work like factory
get the tranny ecu as well, but u also need the diff or the auto wont shift.

If u have an inline 6 u r just better of dropping in a motor from a C36 or just turbochrging your present motor if it's the inline 6.

v0ac · 10-29-2009, 11:26 PM

forget it, you need transmission, bigger brake set up etc.
sell your 280 and buy a clean c43, that's it.

AMGC · 10-30-2009, 02:13 AM

exactly.

BenzMaster19 · 10-30-2009, 02:13 AM

Just drop a C36 motor in with all the right mods, it will cost you MUCH less then that conversion your trying to attempt...

AMGC · 10-30-2009, 02:25 AM

it would just cost less to buy a C36. Theyre goin cheap now.

Even if you did all this sucessfully...it wouldn't be a C43.

The C43 is NOT just a stock W202 with a stock 4.3 M113 engine. If that were the case it'd be badged as a C430 and this forum wouldn't exist. What you're proposing would net you the automotive equivalent of a chimp in a cowboy hat.

If your 280 is actually mint just sell it and buy a lightly distressed C43, even the worst of them will need a lot less work than some C280/E430 chimera. I got one of mine in Orlando, I can't imagine you'd have to wait too long for another to crop up down there.

Thanks for all the input Turbo Chargeing it sounds like the right way to go.
reason being i'm looking for more power.
everything in this car is in emacuate condition..

AMGC · 11-08-2009, 05:32 PM

a turbo and an automatic transmission should never be together. Its like dating a supermodel but having no dick.

LOL...dude just buy my car, I know yours is in umm "emacuate condition" but mine is ready now.

AMGC · 11-09-2009, 12:46 AM

Turbo'ing a car is also a lot more complicated and a lot more hassle than you sound like your ready for. I also see you only got one car, so not the way to go.

plus its automatic.
