engine weights

[Alexander van Gerbig]

    Well the V8 quest is one I may still be on myself.  I talked to mum
today and she told me she pumped almost $4500 into the totaled 200q20v, just
the mechanicals, yikes!  So with the rest of that insurance money, some
$3500, it has to be untotaled somehow.  Either way she says it's running
beautifully again and everything that was wrong with it has been fixed,
suspension, boost problems, and all that, though I haven't seen the shop
invoice yet.  I think we can get away with doing the body work with that
insurance cash and then we'll have the beautiful 200q20v back and better
than before.  So no 20v turbo for me now...

I toyed around with a webpage for the V8 conversion, not finished, but some
good guidelines...

That has some info about the swap, but as for weight all I know is the V8
comes in just shy of the 20vt, saw the stats on a German site and can't
remember the URL.

Cheers,
