2.3L NG conversion in my 86 4000KQ

Hey Listers!

Last weekend was a glorious weekend for my 1986 4KQ!  Friday night my brother, Javad (80tq.com), and I set out to drop in a 2.3L NG bottom end with my 4KQ ported head and a 270degree cam shaft in my tired old Audi.  After a few trips back and forth to our local hardware store, we pulled out the old 2.2L and carefully dropped in the beautiful new engine.  The engine had come off Javad's 80 with 80,000 miles on it, so we replaced the seals, lifters, valve springs, and gaskets.  I just wanted to drop you all a quick email telling you how cool of an experience it was and what a great feel the car has after the swap.  Thanks to Huw's and many other lister's websites that showed us great pointers and tips.  And if you ever see a loud, bright red Audi putting around in the Bay Area, feel free to throw a hand and wave!
