Re: Is an Audi A4 4.2 Possible

[Eliot Lim <eliot@u.washington.edu>]

consider the following facts:

- the 5000's nose had to be lengthened to fit the v8 *and* accessories.

- the 5 cylinder will not even fit in the A4.

hence it would follow that no way can the v8 fit in the a4.  maybe if you
do away with the radiators it might fit.  with the v6 it already looks
pretty crowded... the mechanics were also bitching about that.

the v8 is not significantly heavier than the v6, since the v8 has an alloy
block while the v6 has cast iron.
