Audi Ur-Q vs. Mustang 308

[bmxman 69]

If I knew the external dimensions for the donovan I'd tell you, but I'm 
really not sure.  I know that normal big block chevy heads fit on them, so I 
would assume that they aren't that out of proportion.  The most common use 
I've seen for them is tractor pulling, where almost every 4 wheel drive 
truck uses an engine of at least 540c.i.d.(again, i've seen them go as high 
as 640cid), but they are also using tubular chassis built just for that.

I saw a 620cid alcohol motor shoe horned into an early corvette body, but 
again it was a diehard race car.

As far as bang for the buck goes, you can't beat a mustang 5.0.  If you 
really want to you can build one up that out accelerates, out handles, and 
just plain old smokes for less then you'd pay for a newer camaro.

However, this is an Audi ng, and all this talk of big cube v-8's is making 
me wonder how much redneck I actually have in me.  Maybe when i get older 
I'll figure out a way to put two audi inline fives together to make a 
4.5liter V-10.

later
