Don't worry, the swap also included a Honda manual gearbox.
There's nothing inherently novel about a K20 swap. The engine, with its lightweight, high redline, and unbeatable reliability, is a great way to get reliable, engaging performance for a decent price. What's wild, though, is doing a K20 swap on a Mercedes C240.
We're used to seeing these kind of swaps in cars that have renowned dynamics but weak, fragile, rare, or uninteresting factory engines. A Fiat X1/9, with its barebones simplicity and puny OEM powertrain, is a great example. An E30 BMW 3 Series is another, only because even its relatively stout family of powertrains are all getting quite old.
The engine itself is a K20A2, which came in the U.S.-market RSX Type S. In this application, though, it's been fitted with a GT30R turbocharger and a custom ECU. The seller says this combination is good for 402 hp on a dyno, though it's worth noting that there is a broad margin of error in any dyno claim. Regardless, what's even cooler is that the owner has retained the stock body and almost all of the interior.
