Hi Bake,

Check my website about conversion info. You will find the starter and
transmission issues the easiest to solve.

I'm just off University Blvd in Silver Spring...I'd like to see your project
sometime!

Take care,
TomC

   I just ripped a 5 cylinder turbo Audi engine out of an old quatro.
I'm thinking of putting it into my 84.  Of course there are issues with
the starter and the transmission, but I think I can get past them.
Has anybody ever done something like this ? Or, does anybody have any
brainstorms regarding this undertaking ?
