Just started pulling my Mercedes motor yesterday was curious what you used for motor mounts. Thanks for the videos they helped me gather up some parts in advance to getting going much appreciated 🤙
You’re right brother it happened to me but at the time when I was doing my build, I couldn’t find a v8 version and if I did they were way over priced so I ran the V-6 trans then when it blew up I bought all the v8 gear rebuild set for about $800. I have a very strong transmission now.
@@lukesummerfield9899 I know there’s another person on TH-cam that built a C230 using the stock transmission. I want to say his channel is bloodsport something with blood in front of it. Send him a message and he’ll fabricate you that adapter but I know it’s expensive. Coming soon I will be pulling out the 4.8 and t5 and putting a 6.0l with a t56 next .
I am currently having some issues with my '03 C230K. It had a small fire by the starter and cooked some nearby wiring. This in addition to a transmission issue I was about to investigate before the "fire". I have the engine harness removed to replace some wiring. The starter is sent out for a rebuild. If there are any issues when it goes back together then look out, an LS is next!
Could you do a video on how you connected your fitech ecu I’m confused on if you use the oem 4.8 ecu and harness or just the fitech? I have zero clue when it comes to wiring stuff up
I’m considering doing an LSswap in my 09 C350 W204. I want that LS reliability. Shouldn’t be too difficult from other Js swaps I’ve done. Where did you get your drive shaft done?
@@mirandajr631 thank you for subscribing brother. If you have welding experience the manual is here to build it it’s not hard, bro. The motor will fit in perfectly.
@@mirandajr631 the labor, which is the swap I charge $4500 and you bring me all the parts the driveshaft I could get it made here it’s around 475. But the best thing is to look around for the motor and the transmission you want to use . And let me know which transmission you’re gonna use because not a lot of them will fit and that Transmission tunnel it’s too small
@@remone2013 I purchased those motor mounts from eBay and then I modified them to work from my application somewhere in one of the videos. You will see me creating something different with the motor mounts that I purchased. Anything else you need brother let me know I got you

U welcome , anything you need let me know
For all my people if you need any more information, please let me know and I will make a video as soon as possible. Thank you.
@AverageFirearms I’m running a t5 out of a 92 Camaro or trans Am , I recommend you to get a V8 version. I was using a V-6 and it blew up the gears.

I was waiting for these video my friend.
If you need any more info, let me know
Thanks bro.
You could probably gut the dash display and replace with a custom diy unit, then all the useful gauges would be more or less in the OE spot.
🤙 I’m just about to start the same swap were you able to use the stock oil pan? Looks like it fits in there nice good job 🤙
I had to use an Ls Swap oil pan , for a g-body and thank you
Could you do a video on how you connected your fitech ecu I’m confused on if you use the oem 4.8 ecu and harness or just the fitech? I have zero clue when it comes to wiring stuff up
It’s all fitech
The harness and ECU is all fitech
Do you have a part number or what the exact ones called
@@bradleyhiggins7500 what year is the motor you’re using for your Swap? I need to know because the reluctor wheels are different.

@@mirandajr631 it could be done, but at the moment I got 3 cars and a c10 blazer ahead of you that I’m Ls swapping

How much h will cost me to convert my 2005/C230 kompressor?
Are you doing all the work yourself?
Where did you got the engine mounts ?
eBay
@@Caprice1977as far as the eBay mounts, did you get the aftermarket ls swap adjustable mounts or made your own?

Ls swap for sure
nice,take of fthe vette covers it would look better
I like using the Corvette covers to cover up the coils and all the wiring that’s on top of these LS motors .
Sorry brother but I like the way it looks
