Re: Info on 91 100 engine swaps

<< My Dad just picked up a nice 91 100 (non q) with a blown engine (don't ask 
 me what's gone, I haven't seen it yet), and he's wondering if anyone's put 
 a more interesting engine in these things. All suggestions for possible 
 swaps are welcome.  Price is more of a concern over complexity; we've done 
 v8's into Sunbeams and Jag's, so it's not really new ground... >>

There's a big difference between putting a V8 into a sunbeam and a V8 into an
Audi. The best bet is to replace the engine from another 100 or rebuild it.
then sell the car and buy a 200 or 200q.  As far as swaps go a V8 will not fit
easily or cheapily into the car, a turbo five will fit physically but there
are wiring problems and maybe drivetrain problems to worry about..
