Default Engine swap

I am looking into swapping my engine out on my 2011 c300 for a 2011 amg motor and tranny. I would like to know what else is needed for the swap eg. suspension brakes ect

Hello and welcome to the forum! I would imagine that you would need a new fuel pump / system as well. Likely new injectors, plugs, etc...Suspension and brakes would also would good, as you're putting a lot more horsepower and weight going to the V8. Are you doing the swap yourself or having a shop do it?

They'll be able to give you a checklist of what's needed and what is recommended. Make sure to check the list carefully, I would imagine that they'll want to push for all new suspension and brakes - you can likely just add components as opposed to needing full systems.
