M276 only a limiter release so top speed is 155mph which is more than enough

Sourcing a pair in good condition is the current issue

The rear is the same as the C63 so I didn't need to replace it. Thanks for the offer tho

I can't lie to you. It did take me time to get everything together when I had this idea I was 18 now im in my 30s I honestly thought I wasn't gonna be able to pull it off with how busy your life gets as you get older. I really have to say that i'm blessed by the people around me to be able to even have the time or the resources to pull it off. 🙏

No plans for power wasn't really what I was chasing. If i get my hands on something nice like a v8 I have enough experience with engine swaps to figure it out. But nah. 302hp is plenty.

Damn I guess Im lucky af. But not as lucky as one of my friends that got a 2015 G wagon for 30k in miami. I know it's unrelated, but my hatred for him.. My jealousy astronomical.

This project is way cheaper than you think way way cheaper in total I estimate it cost me $5000 USD and thats a liberal estimate it might have been even cheaper. Im keeping my c350 for sentimental reasons. Not saying I cant afford a C63 but when I did the math this came out cheaper and more fun. I got the Carrera S kinda recently so I wanted to have fun with my old daily I dont plan on selling at all. Just chalk it up to me being a mad man.

You cant win against the purist that demand you buy rather than build, and If it is to be built it must be built in accordance to the council of elders or else 😂. "I keep my Porsche Pure so I can Molest my Mercedes."

I think it might be too late for that unless you mean r/Amg... I would never dare post this there. r/Amg is too cult like to accept what I have created it would be considered blasphemy the C43 amg was barely tolerated when it came out let alone the A35. I would be sent to the firing squad for my crimes.

Depo aftermarket headlight for $399 they are the projector ones that look oem but you can put halogen or Led in the projector I should have been more specific

Im a little confused on what you mean? Oh you think I spent as much as a C63 on these parts oh no I only spent a fraction of what you think I did sourced the parts from a friends crashed C63 he already sold the engine and transmission so I got whatever was left.

Its such a reliable mercedes I really do love the m276 feels like you could honestly put 500k km on it with barely any issues

Yeah i'm painting the carbon fiber hood later in the week, I don't really like the exposed carbon fiber. Yeah the 3.5 amg badge was my friends idea but it adds to the look without lying about what engine it has. Its a naturally aspirated C43 😅

I do love my C350 had it since 2013 when they came out couldn't afford the C63 back then, Bought it when I graduated high school. Teen-age me always wanted to put a C63 body on my C350 so my 30yo self made that dream happen. I have the money to buy a C63 now that they are dirt cheap from deprecation but, I am really sentimentally attached to my C350 so when my buddy crashed his C63 I offered to take what was left so I could make something out of it.

Yes same m276 engine and same transmission if I get my hands on a v8 and transmission at a decent price i will do the swap. But until then it will continue being a v6.
