I am gearing up to try something a little different. A V6 in my '82 CGT. The
power plant I have in mind is an all aluminum engine and transmission from an
'02 Chrysler 300. The project is driven by the fact that I picked up the
package for $600.00 and a date coded six-pack manifold. Since the CGT is FWD, I am
not constrained to use the Audi transmission. I expect to use the Chrysler
tranny by splicing the Chrysler axles to the Audi units. So far, I am at the
measuring stage. The project will have to wait until I have a week, or so, of
free time. I am rebuilding my barn and a few other things, so there may be a
significant hibernation period.
For those considering a swap, either Audi or not, here is a hint. Most
manufacturers "training manuals" contain something called the "engine performance
wiring diagram". These are intended for troubleshooting. However, if you cut
away everything else, you have a "stand alone" wiring harness.
