In a message dated 97-04-23 22:51:44 EDT, you write:

<< - 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.

Not that this means anything, but the V8 fits in the 4000 engine bay without
too many "major" mods.  So perhaps the V8 could find it's way into an A4,
with the right amount of money, anything is possible
