Hi David!

The EuroVan engine is the same engine as the Audi, but if it has all the same
mounting points as the Audi, I wouldn't know. If the block isn't totally
similar, I would guess you could use the internal parts, and modifying your
block (increase the bore of the cyls from 81 to 82,5 mm). Anyway, it is quite
interesting, and you would get one heck of an engine.... 2,5 Turbo!
