[V8] What to do with the ABH

[Carter Johnson]

So, as the winter sets in, I'm thinking of the spring, and my next ride. THe V8 is short lived.  Miles, rust and looming repairs mean that 1993 V8's will become even more rare soon.  So, my initial idea was to drop the ABH into the GT.  It can, and has, been done.  But, it would be nearly undriveable on the track, much debating later decided, and so that's no longer a realistic option.

 

SO, I'm thinking - get a nice 4KQ.  Get a coupe quattro tranny, put the CQ tranny and V8 rear diff in.  Pop the V8 4.2 running on EFI in after a freshen up.  Swap in 5 bolt hubs and G60's out of the V8, so I can run my S4 Avus wheels on the car.  Coilovers, a cage and race seats later, the car should be a 300hp, 2500 lb track beast.  

 

Thoughts?  I figure the whole thing should cost around 15,000$, and would be one of a kind.

 

Turboing is not an option, Nate. :-)
