[V8] When to cut losses and just pull the engine

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Depends what you want, Sean. Do you want the V8 sedan or do you want  
to sink that V8 into the Urq?  If you're thinking the later, maybe  
you should drive one with a transplant before you decide.  Check out  
Motorgeek.com.  There are more than a few V8 Urq transplants out there.

Personally, I can't imagine driving an Urq without a turbo five...

Best,

Ingo
