Nah, that was the turbo v6 Sanj. Just 420bhp and 200mph+ IIRC....

The v8 would leave that looking like the pink knicker brigade.

4.2 audi v8 and the later ob1 box with the diff and shafts infront of the clutch.

I've measured it up in a vx220 and it will "just" fit in the standard bodywork.

You would lose most of your boot, but still....

Have this in my garage awaiting some time to do just that with.

I got to witness one of those engines only yesterday. Truly stunning! Would'nt know where to start engine management wise though.

Olber, you've got some crazyness brewing! :-)
