[V8] V8 5 spd Conversion

[Jason Wilkerson]

Ok,
   I know someone does this from time to time, but I just have to step in
here too.  I really want to do a 5sp conversion, but I want to know what
parts I can use - see if this is plausable - especially Ron.  

   - Buy a type 44 5000 or 100/200 quattro 5spd - use the parts including
transmission, clutch pedal assy, and all related hydraulic components,
shifter linkage etc.  Also, use the trans tunnel to 'paste' into the v8.

   - Buy one of them there fancy aluminum flywheels from sombody.

I'm sure there would be more but those two things could capture about 95%
of it I think?  I know there are two trannys talked about, an 0-1E? and an
0-16? Is this correct?  I also know that the one in the lesser type 44,
(like the one I want to use) isn't as 'beefy' as the original one that
came in the v8 - but I really don't drive that hard, so I don't think it
will be a problem.  If you think otherwise say it here.

         Thanks,
             Jason
