Can I buy JUST AN ENGINE from Brabus, AMG, Benz?
Hi all,
I had a project in mind. Is it possible to just buy the engine and all necessary components from Brabus, AMG, or Mercedes-Benz?
Yes, no, maybe so?
Cheers!

I'm looking at the engine from the SL65 or comparable Benz unit.
Cheers!

go with the 5.5l from the e55, cl55, all you have to do is find a wrecked car. im sure you can get a wrecked e55 with working engine and harness for about 30k? maybe less

those prices i listed are list, you can get the 5.5l Kompressor motor for about 44k new, even a wrecked one is still an expensive project to start from scratch. Id look for a Mustang or Covette crate motor, incredible reliability and a plethora of "inexpensive" parts available

Here's a g55 v8 supercharged for $13k, call and see if it runs, most likely it does, because it looks like a rollover, not water damage.
seems like a steal at 13k for motor, tranny, and all components, heck you can get about 3-4k for parts not including the motor if you part it out.

you can get 55Kompressor motors (but with no wiring harnesses or ECU) out of wrecked cars (with no damage to the motor) all day for under $20k.
I will be doing this transplant into my Gcab someday.
