I feel lucky to be able to watch this kind of crazy project on KZfaq. Thanks for sharing with us!

I am sure they will address the sub frame cutting/reinforcement. First you make it fit, then you make it strong.

When it’s all done. It will be 1 Of 1. 👏🏾👍🏾

I respect you guy for the engineering that your putting into this. LuKas from South Africa 🌍

you are one of the people that inspire me to keep learning engineering and fabrication. I hope to one day be able to do all of the things you do

Awesome man. Im currently putting a Ford Barra into a W123 300D 👊

This is some unreal stuff!! Can’t wait to see the final outcome!

Truly impressed. My favourite era of MB is 70's and 80's and to me this project makes total sense.

The further it goes, the more insane this becomes haha! Great work Team XF!

For the exhaust system, the folks over at DieselPumpUK made a billet exhaust for an OM606. Although no where near the same engine- the "piping" was so quaint and sleek that I feel as though it could help your application- since it seems as though there's only 4.5" of clearance. Your videos are always so educational! Thank you so much for your detailed work!

Would be cool to see how the new enginemounts are constructed? Really cool project :)

Great video 👍 Love Sebastian's approach "well had cut subframe create engine mount re fab every thing back together"

Been waiting for this!

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

I love projects like this.👍👍

The two cars that I love are getting merged together, keep the great work going brothers, amazing work 💯 always waiting the updates 😍👌🏽

This is such an awesome project!! 😁🙌🏻

What I've been told over and over is that the fab work is the easy part, it's the electronics that make these MB engine swaps difficult. Can't wait to see what you guys do to get it running.

Really enjoying your content/channel. Keep it coming as you and the team are very talented!

Love the work you guys do! Keep it up! I want to put the Cd009 kit in my E55 so bad!

You guys are magicians. Very impressive 👏

Fits better than expected actually

Impressive craftsmanship!

This will be a fantastic restomod for sure

When I get on KZfaq this is what I like to see 😂

Solid work man. Shoutout from B-town!

Excellent progress

R107 is the most underrate work of art in automotive design. Next project, same model but with electric motor.

Reminds me of a picture I saw of a 300SE with a modern AMG V8 in it. Excited to see where this thing goes

love your videos bro!

I love this build. Will be good to see it move under it's own power.

Cool job guys!

You make everything look easy

This is great guys!

Love the content :) My cuestion is how do you know that the subframe is structurally safe after the modifications. Did you do any analysis?

Good advice from AC tech - if you're going to reuse AC plug the hoses. Anything that gets in there (dirt/bugs) could make your life miserable, when it finally clogs something (usually expansion valve) and you have to tear half of the car apart to get to it.

Don't forget to go sign the RPM act save our Motorsports much love

If I had that donor car (C63) I would put that engine in the W124 chasis. Then you got yourself your own "Hammer" Restomod.😁😁

Great work. I’m wondering how you will deal with the fan belt length?

Jeez tough job. Nice to see how its coming along. How are you guys managing to do so many projects at once? Thanks for the content.

Putting 20lbs of stuff into a 10lb bag! I love restomods!

oh my god cool project 😉👍

Nice project. Any update on the E55 manual conversion? Did u sort out all the electrical issues?

That infinity front brake disk... tiny 😵 Greeting to y'all at xf 😁💪

More engine conversion, this is good

Man awesome work. I do have a question though. I have the w460 g wagon that I i engine swapped to the om617 engine that i pulled from a w203. My question is im thinking of swapping the gearbox to the automatic that came with the 203. But I'm worried how the tranny wiring will work without speed sensors

Great job you guys are doing. I want to start Merc 190E project but not sure which donor car to use between the E55 AMG and the C63 AMG. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Also, wish to see the final outcome of the SL project.

Great job, cant wait for it to be done! Wasnt the plan btw to put in the amgs suspension and so on so you get a modern car feeling or was this given up?

Excellent! Easy job ;) !

Ready for the next video in this series...

I’d hate to be the one that pays the bill at end, but I love it

Be interesting to know why you didn't just modify the C63 subframe to work in the R107.

how you gonna do with speed cluster on dash, abs and speed sensors? w126 has one single speed sensor in the diff. new types has speed sensors on the wheels.

Guys, do some research on " R107 front sub frame reinforcement " There was some sort of lower control arm mount cracking that a repair kit took care of. I don't know what years were affected or if the factory made modifications.

Hebat luarbiasa paman👍👍👍👍

will the SL be a standard gear box?

Its greate too see this but i wonder how the abs will work

ah....... you not work alone nice work man

Will you guys eventually make a manual conversion for a C63 like you did with the E55? I’ve always thought that’s what the C63 really needed

How are you guys making all of the electronics work? There are a lot of cheap V12tt cars running around that would make good engine donors if the pcm issue was addressed. I would gladly rip the engine out of my w220 S600 tt to swap into a w126 long wheelbase.

any update on this very exciting build ?

this reminds me of a v8 swap in a miata. power to weight will be nuts in that little benz.

Did this project ever get finished?

Did you guys ever finish this?

Love it

Where are y’all located

nice Projekt....

Very cool 👍🏻🇮🇪

Great, great job! Love it! Why didn’t you go for a dry sump construction? Gives a little bit more room. With so much effort, would galvanizing the whole body money well spend? Once again: great job and channel! Thank you!

You also have a V12 swap in an SEC that I would like to see finished. Particularly your engine management solutions. Either of these cars finished would be nice to see. Are you planning to finish either of these two projects? It seems we have been left hanging. And then you start fiddling with the kiddy cars like civics and S2000 and the like. Lets see the progress to completion my friend…

That subframe is not engineered to handle that much torque. Would have swapped the 63 subframe with custom brackets to tie body. Just look at those flimsy shock and antiquated suspension. All that work for it to crack in half after several shock loads.

When is "Disassembling a C63 AMG Entirely - Project 630SL Part 4" coming out? ...

Would it have been easier to use the C63 subframe? Then you get later model steering, suspension etc.

Any plans for the wheels? Please don't put too large and non contemporary rims on this car! I would prefer the 15" version of the original bundt alloys, or possibly 16" Lorinser LOs or Pentas. Means you can't use the brakes from the donor car but there are beefy enough aftermarket brakes available that would fit inside a 15" or 16" rim.

Im your fan ^^

Why not trying to fitt the original c63 subframe on the sl??

Great job! I love this car and this project was a great idea! But I wonder, will the engine subframe lose part of its rigidity after cutting such big steel plates in order to fit the new engine?

Just the mock up looks amazing! Owner will be well inducted to custom car life... Year 2027, he needs an alternator... "Yep, alternator for a C63... Can you just take a little off the sides please?" :-)

Why not use the subframe from the c63 and weld that to the old car

was this project ever finished?

Got here in the first 5 min 😀

Why didn't you use the C63 subframe?

Any updates on this project, is it dead?

Waiting for the next video....

Cutting away so much of the subframe, wouldn't it weaken it?

Ace! How about an update on the e55 manual swap. Maybe you covered it on a different social media? But KZfaq is all I have.

What’s happened to the follow up of this video. I don’t see it anywhere.

I was searching on YT to see if anyone put a Vette engine into the R107. C63 engine? That’s a tough project especially changing the driver side location of the steering wheel.. Hope you get a lot of clicks for this video. 👍🤑

I’m confused why you didn’t remove material from the ac and alternator bracket rather than from ac and alternator itself. Removing material from the brackets means the owner can easily buy a new ac or alternator from the parts store. The way you did it he well have to have the ac or alternator rebuilt or buy new and take it to a machine shop. Beside the ac and alternator being close to the subframe if they needed to be replaced it looks the engine would have to be raised. Are you planning on making more room for ease of repairs?

Isn't cutting subframe going to act rigidity? How healty is it?

After closing the air gap between the engine and the accessories, the longevity of those parts is gone. Also the belt needs to be custom size, so the next maintenance will be soon, and painful. A lot easier and less painful job would have been customizing the subframe and subframe mounts, as in re-fitting the C63 subframe into that old rust bucket.

With all you skills and know how, would it have been better to make a custom subframe with a coil over suspension and a rack and pinion steering set up???

The hood still closes?

I usually love the work you do, but wouldn't have been better to fabricate a custom subframe. Making sure you retain support.

The problem with cutting the Alternator and AC compressor is that you've now made them one off items which are now not easily swappable if failure occurs.

Final part??

OMW didn't you just get that shop? And you need a about two to three times the Square feet already never mind the space you going to need when Discovery Channel asks if they can make a TV show with you guys. Well done 👏what a great Channel you have. I love it.

Hope you charging this guy appropriately for this swop

Usually when you fit a big engine in a smaller car the engine gets set back as far as possible, it's not as tho they have to worry about a rear distributor etc so why leave 2" or 50 mm clearance? Would not have needed so much cutting on the cross member to start with, and if you going to cut up a cross member start with a dummy one, so you can do a very tidy proper one to finish, just saves a lot of time and missery later
