[V8] V8 Non-Audi Swap (was crankshaft bolt)

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Hmm.  Don't recall that one.  My father loved Toronado's with their
tank-like ruggedness and less stratospheric price compared with the sister
Cadillac Eldorado.  Perhaps you're thinking of that infamous fuel-saving
motor, the 8-6-4 of the eighties, though the LH6 engine with electronic
throttle control has improved on this a lot.  Of course, my dad caught the
Audi bug in 1983 when he bought an early FWD silver 5000.
