80/90/Coupe Quattro MC engine conversion group? (Type 89)

[Nate Stuart]

I have done the swap, and am in the process of getting all the nitty gritty
onto my site (www.newtsplace.com/90tq), right now it is an over view of what
the conversion entailed(been dubbing too much with the format, keep leaving
out the content....), and what parts were needed. I didn't go the 'standard'
route, but instead installed the MC-1 long block with the 90's ignition
system, an EFI system for fueling, and a 016 4000q tranny for the driveline.
Be glad to answer any questions I can, or even create/host what ever common
information you want to get together. I did setup a search engine on my page
that is Audi-specific, and depending on how the 'client' website is setup I
can add more and more sites the the search engine, right now for example it
searches through my site, Javad's site, Huw's station, and SJM's pages,
among others.

Later!
