ok so i have looked through the engine trasplants looking for Audi V6's and really didnt fint any thing useful. So i found a factor rebuild Audi V6 with a 90k mile warrenty 2.8L 12 valve for $500, then add in a Megasquirt EFI kit and drop it in my car.
i know i'll need to make motor mounts and oil pan and oil pick up
so the question is:
1) will it fit?
2) bellhousing, will it bolt up or do i need to coustomize it?
3) should i quit dreaming and go with what i have in the car

You can make just about anything fit in the car providing you have the time, patience and $$$$.
I have seen them with a v6 3.8lt advertised here in Oz.
Don't know how he did it but I can assume engine mounts, bellhousing and drive train were all modified.
Engine computer and management system, wiring, exhaust, cooling etc would have to be specially fitted.
More mods than the cars value.

I think if you're going to go through the trouble of doing an engine transplant at least put a v8 in it

and yeah if you have the cash you can do anything, I saw a pic of some guy with a 944 with a 911 flat six

all th V8 that i've seen in a 924, they have the hoods cut. if i did a motor swap i want it so you cant tell. every thing needs to fit under the hood.

There's a nice rover V8 conversion that's been done over here. It was for sale a while ago. I've seen it. Looks like a standard 924 and goes like crazy.

I've seen a couple v8 924s on ebay and the hood wasn't cut.
