5kcstq project car crossroads

[Peter Golledge]

DeWitt,

I'd find out if Kennedy's adapter fits and LS1 and really go to town:
http://www.kennedyeng.com/other.htm

The Kennedy adapter is what Rob Dupree used to build the LT-1Q.  The LS1 is
lighter and shorter than the LT1 so it should make for an easier conversion
and 345 stock HP ;-)

Un unloved early V8 Audi might be a better choice for the body though... 

I really shouldn't encourage other people to build "franken cars" but I
can't help it. 

Cheers

Hi y'all.

I'm trying to figure out where to go with my _long_ time 5kcstq project.
(Some pictures at http://www.5000tq.com/audifanspics/)
I have an AAN motor waiting in the wings in case I get crazy.

Should I go all-out with 10V improvements? This would include getting rid of
the CIS fuel-air system. This would avoid the problem of major underhood
mods.

Should I try to make my AAN motor look like a 3B so that  it would fit my
type 44 chassis with ease? The downside is that 3B engine related parts are
pretty much NLA. For example, the inter-cooler is NLA. In practice, I would
need to buy a good '91 200 just to support my 5k project.

Should I move on and rip out my entire engine bay in order to make it look
like an ur-s4/s6 under the hood?
But then, where would I put my radiator and inter-cooler?
I think we would be talking a lot of cutting and welding.

Should I just launch into the unknown?
