 No im currently driving my uncle's 90 audi V8 Q... why would i try putting=
 a v8 into my 4k? As for smog... i have that all covered... i can smog a hu=
ffy mountain bike if need be hahaha ... Anyways i was looking for more a 4.=
2 out of the 92-94 audi V8 not one of the newer one's... i doubt i could af=
ford a newer V8 from an A8 / S8. But you know what they say, there's no rep=
lacement for displacement.. so *shrug* i dunno just trying to gather inform=
ation at this point. The car is an automatic and i plan on keeping it that =

y future audi project will be for, this is more my around the town car with=
 a nice stereo in it and for some long trips. Thanks for the information! G=
