V8 on I5 engine mounts in type 44 cars?

[Tony Hoffman]

No, they will not bolt right up. The "V" engines have their engine
mounts right across from each other, the inlines are slanted slightly,
and the mounts aren't equal distance. The one down by the exhaust
(right) is about two inches lower than the other (left) one. Audi
could have put them across from each other, but I guess the
bellhousings being the same is enough to ask for.
