 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.
