Eurovan 2.5 crank in Audi block

[sdewitt at stx.rr.com]

It is possible and has been discussed at great lengths on this forum.

You either have to get custom pistons made or custom rods made, no stock combo will work properly unless you use a eurovan block.

I think eurospec uses stock rods with a custom piston that moves the wrist pin closer to the deck.

You might want to pick their brains and see specifically what they use. For my 2.5 conversion I used a eurovan block and bolted on a turbo head.
