engine transplants into 80/90q

   Playing with an idea. Actually the March EuroCar magazine got me thinking 
along these lines...the 4k with the transplanted MC engine looks like quite a 
sleeper, a fun use of older equiptment. But I much more in "love" with the looks 
of the B3 body i.e. 80/90 quattro. Has anyone looked into the transplanting of a 
10v turbo engine into that chassis? Here in Colorado a my favorite dismantler 
Mike has atleast a 1/2 dozen turbo engines of various years complete, wiring 
looms, brains, and all. Any thoughts? Who in Colorado would you use to "freshen" 
the engine and turbo?
   Second question...the brake rotors and calipers in the 4k artical car were 
did they come from? A 200tq? Not an Audi?
   If you knew me you'd know some goofy little project like this is right up my 
alley. I've run the string out on my Jetta as far as I can, with out droping a 
VR6 in it, and I'd rather spend that money on an Audi.
   Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Oh by the by I looked over the old 
quattro list archives, and I couldn't find anything on this subject, but there 
is so much there that it would just take more time than I have.
