RE: Info on 91 100 engine swaps

[PN <pajono@compsol.net>]

I didn't mean to imply that I was thinking of putting a v8 into the Audi, I 
was just saying that we're comfortable doing an unusual swap. I agree that 
rebuilding the current engine will probably be the most sensible way to go, 
but I thought I'd ask for other ideas.

Why are the 200's so much more desirable? Sorry to ask, but I pay very 
little attention to the larger Audi's...

 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..
