[V8] Transplants

[S_Matus]

Wow, with all of this talk about transplants, it get the imagination working overtime.  When you depart from the pureist view of Audi-Audi to Audi-Isuzu, Audi-VW(At least in the same stable), Audi-Honda; there are endless possibilities.  When the transplant move to a different make I think that you should also select all the  components.
 
What I'm saying - 
 
PT V8 with a 01E into a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon, or
Dodge Viper V10 w/ trans into a Jaguar Xk8, or
Porsche 3.6 turbo/trans into a mid mounted 2003 Nissan 350Z
 
The possibilities are Endless.
 
Scott.

> I buddy at work says the F 308 and 328(?) are transversely mountedI  was thinking FWD.  The Caddy and Taurus all I know of, but either wayit's looking like the PT won't work sideways due to all the stuff that'dbe in the way of the VW's r/s drive axle.I'm going to make a trip to my local Audi/VW yard to scout out possiblealternatives for powering the VW with my tired old V8:1) Adapt a logitudinally-mounted FWD 4k transmission2) Cannabalize a 4kq to adapt rear suspension and always-locked trans toRWD scirocco3) Transfer driveline of 4kq to quattro scirocco4) Shut the hell up and find a 4.2 for my '91 v8 first.-DavePS: I really do have to do something with this scirocco, and if I have aslightly worn out 3.6 V8 sitting around, it seems like fate.  Onesuggestion I really thought was crazy, yet not out of line given theoutside-the-box thinking already was to put a FWD trans and 3.6 V8 allin the middle/back.   Then I'd have a nice big trunk up front...> -----Original Message-----> From:
