Check out David Close's post at:
http://www.ece.nwu.edu/~mchang/audi/tech/80qmc.html

He stuck an MC into an 80q.  This is a little different since the 80q was
a 10v NA I5, not the 20v.  But, I would think given the similar body
styles, it would at least point you in the right direction.

Since this post, I believe David has undergone some transmission problems,
as his was rebuilt (?) and not done exactly correctly.  It's seen some
track time and I'm sure he'd tell us details if you asked.

Sounds like a good deal for $3500 or so, if the body and other
mechanicals/electricals are in good shape.

Please keep us (at least me) apprised!
