Subject:need info on 5 cyl swap
From:a.a. \"fred\" bertagnolli, jr.
Date:Sun, 9 May 1999 09:10:33 -0700

as my '87 audi 5000 quattro falls apart in bits and pieces around me, the
engine and drive train pull like a freight train. I've found an '87 syncro
with a broken tranny and a questionable engine. so i'm thinking, once i
locate a good used tranny (hopefully less than $1,500 + $1,500 rebuild),
what would it take to put in the 5 cyl? any info would be appreciated
rather than going the kennedy enginerring and suburu engine swap, as i
already have the 5 cyl and since i've been told the quattro drivetrain
doesn't fit the vanagon i'd sell the rest of the car.
TIA
