chevy 350 in a b5 a4

[blackedoutb5]

well i finally got some pics idk how the quality is my camera was broke so i used my phone. right now its running and drivable(used a 5 gal gas can to take it around the block had to remove the fuel tank and am building a custom fuel cell ) still has some minor kinks to get worked out, like the radiator and cooling fan its not stayin cool enough. i took out the 1.8 and put in a 5.7, its a 1979 350 with a 4 bolt main bottem end is stock, has worked heads, edelbrock cam, edelbrock torker II intake mani, edelbrock 650 4 barrel carb, comp cams roller rocker arms, custom made headers and modified oil pan. had to make a custom crossmember and tranny mount, driveshaft, relocated battery to fit distributor, pushed the firewall in a little, custom gauge cluster, and a whole bunch of other stuff ill post some more pics probly tomarrow.

[lowandslow4now]

I like it. Are you just RWD or are you using the AWD. I remember awhile back seeing an adapter to use the AWD. Good luck.

[94jedi]

lol, holy crap! awesome swap!!!! please keep us updated on the progress!

[blackedoutb5]

i converted it to rear im using a chevy turbo 350 transmission

[lowandslow4now]

Thats going to be fun.

[somebody5788]

Lol wow... I have a 350... I was thinking it would be much better in my dads CJ though.

[Jake39454]

What rear end/axles are you using?

[blackedoutb5]

right now im using the stock one, lol, idk if it will hold up, personally i dought it but ill find out.

[O2VW1.8T]

Dont care to much for this. It would be awesome if you kept it AWD. I believe there are LS1 adaptor plates for the audi trans. So having crap load of torque plus AWD would be insane.

[somebody5788]

right now im using the stock one, lol, idk if it will hold up, personally i dought it but ill find out.

It will hold up fine I'm sure. I mean most of the torque goes to the rear on a launch anyways and they have been holding up for high hp for quite some time.

[pearlwhite]

I would love to have one with an LS1

[Stubek]

I bet that will have a great sound to it! I had nearly that motor in my first Camaro, what a great ride that was!

[hiwords1]

i'm loving it. i was thinking a rotary engine in the b5 to get rid of the understeer but i don't have the funds or fabbing skills. maybe you should do that next lol. why don't you relocate the battery to the trunk? it'd give you a bit of room for a fuel cell

[blackedoutb5]

i was going to but didnt feel like running the cables all the up to the front, i had to do that with my first car, i had a 2000 subaru impreza 2.5rs that i fabbed up a custom turbo kit for and i had alot of voltage problems i was losing it because of the distance, and i had room to fit it under the hood, so i figured it be easier, and i didnt want to have any voltage problems because i still have all the interior goodies it came with, like the heated seats,a/c,etc.

[hiwords1]

maybe you used too large gauge wiring. maybe a larger alternator. either way though, you've done a great job and i have to say this but you are such a red neck lol j/k

[blackedoutb5]

maybe you used too large gauge wiring. maybe a larger alternator. either way though, you've done a great job and i have to say this but you are such a red neck lol j/k

yea it is a little redneck, i was waiting for someone to say something along those line lol

[tdn]

It would be awesome if you kept it AWD.

I agree it would be better with AWD but regardless, it's still awesome.

Great job and thanks for posting this, keep us updated with more info, pics and hopefully plenty of videos.

[Poopie]

impressive

[the_pirate]

Whoa [o_o]

[myb5quattro]

This is really cool, nice custom fabbing! And I agree some videos would be awesome! This is such a bastard child haha American meets Euro 5.7v8 goes where a 1.8fourbanger once was.

[Tifun]

Awesome build....get vids when you can, I'd love to see them.

[biketsai]

videos? Nice job, how is the wiring hooked up/throttle?

[zrowcool]

sick swap, that SBC looks so odd in that engine bay

[blackedoutb5]

yea ill def throw some vids up a soon as i get it driving around, i took it around the block but thats all so far, but put it this way i have a box of wires that are now useless, already sold the ecu, but the throttle i just had to shorten the cable

[aaronamerica]

dam this is nice, we got to see videos

[absolutegtr]

I dunno dude. In my honest opinion you took the easy way out. Should have done it right with a fuel-injected LS1.

I would still shake your hand though [:)] props

[sean1.8t]

way cool! looking forward to updates

[Jake39454]

I dunno dude. In my honest opinion you took the easy way out. Should have done it right with a fuel-injected LS1.

I would still shake your hand though [:)] props

Very much so agreed. Still cool, but an LS1 would have been killer killer killer!!!

[dj_hp]

Damn, that's fvckin awesome.

[Jc61990]

wow. some one actually did it. i had this idea a long while back and i only got flamed when i asked about it, i thought it was a good idea, looks like i was right. good job man!

[Militant-Grunt]

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u231/cheezeguy/n725075089_288918_2774.jpg

I had to look twice, that is very impressive man, good job.

[Dynamite]

hey thats cool, how much HP is it putting out? to down the under steer a bit, if you had the cash could have gone to a alloy block and a larger capacity, there are some grunty after market small block 427s and 454s around now.

[a4fann]

My New Favorite car on the forums, seriously. Just build a 383 stroker out of that 350 and call it a day.

[1poynt8tee]

I think you're gonna get a CEL. That's a boost leak waiting to happen.


..lol. For putting something that never belonged in that engine bay, it looks very OEM. Good job!

[mike-2ptzero]

It will hold up fine I'm sure. I mean most of the torque goes to the rear on a launch anyways and they have been holding up for high hp for quite some time.

Tq is 50/50 on a launch, this is why the modified torsens dont make any difference when launching. Plush when launching the front wheels are pulling the car forward which means they are reducing the load on the rears. I dont see the tiny rear axles lasting all that long when trying to get enough traction to move the car forward under high load.

[getslideways]

way to be different! big thumbs up to you. Some footage of this thing in action is going to be a must!

what did you do for gauges?

[oneohone]

Wow this is simply awesome. Great work! It would be amazing if they made a motor mount and tranny mount kit. Drop in an LS6 and call it a day haha.

[J Ozzie]

You know how many looks your going to get. I mean it man you better make this thing loud.

As your audi goes by ppl are going to be like i swear i just heard a V8'' WTH where is it..

Kinda like what i did last week at the Car show

Nice RX7 goes by and i hear a Vet Engine.. Im like o nice RX7 ... scannin around goin i swear i just heard a vet..

Buddies like ya thats the swaps there doing. Pretty nutty

[Siena]

I like this conversion - the fact that the block has no relationship whatsoever with VAG makes it all the more unique and appealing. [cool]

That's going to sound really rumbly, just the way a traditional V8 should - modern V8 motors are too refined. [up]

[O2VW1.8T]

Wow this is simply awesome. Great work! It would be amazing if they made a motor mount and tranny mount kit. Drop in an LS6 and call it a day haha.

I found a LS1 to audi trans kit The complete kit is $1350. That includes the adapter plate, custom flywheel, clutch parts, starter, and bolts.. Not a bad deal, thinking of doing this swap in my 90q but i dont think there is enough room.

i dont see how it would fit with the kit, because if the stock audi tranny sits forward alot more than where i mounted the chevy tranny, the tranny is set under the steering assembley, i even had to move the radiator forward and im still having clearance issues, i can see someone doing it to a bigger audi like an a8 because im sure they have more room under the hood,

[mike-2ptzero]

Someone just posted pics of a Audi 4.2 liter V8 in a B5 A4.

[Solaris]

wow. Well done. I'd like to see this in person someday.

[B6guy42]

WOW Impressed! Good job!

[DGAFxxx]

props to you! such a cool build! two thumbs up for something unique

[anmagro]

oh my god...all i really want is picks now. this is just crazy. this made my day....considering the floor that i was just sitting under in math class caved in at my feet, and i was almost traped under 50,000 pounds of SUNY OldWestbury.

[anmagro]

BTW....HOW the hell are you shifting this thing? everything lined up or what???

[blackedoutb5]

BTW....HOW the hell are you shifting this thing? everything lined up or what???

i made the oem audi shifter work, it was a tip so i welded the shifter so it only goes back and forth and not to the tip side, the cable was almost exactly the lenght i need i just had to adapt it to attach to the chevy transmission

[anmagro]

what? oh, so its an auto?

[blackedoutb5]

what? oh, so its an auto?

yea unfortunitly, but only for now when i get some extra cash and upgrade the rear end im either thinkin a old school 4 speed to keep with the old school motor or what i really want to do is a 6 speed from something idk yet, i actually going to use this as my everyday car so for now it'll work im gettin sick of drivin my dad's truck around, so ill see if i can get a manual for the winter project

[blackedoutb5]

and i forgot to mention the turbo 350 transmission has a shift kit installed and a 2500 stall converter so atleast im not rollin with yur grandmothers chevy tranny from her cavalier or something

[anmagro]

and i forgot to mention the turbo 350 transmission has a shift kit installed and a 2500 stall converter so atleast im not rollin with yur grandmothers chevy tranny from her cavalier or something

Oh nice, this is a really great build. For shits a giggles, this is something that would cost slightly less than say droping in a 2.7TT correct? I mean, 350's are cheaper and easier to find. Right?[confused]

[blackedoutb5]

honestly i couldnt tell ya i mean it might be cheaper but the labor is probly 10 times worse, i mean everything had to be made to fit i couldnt go out and by a driveshaft or mounts, so i guess what i saved on the motor and stuff, i made up for in getting my ass kicked by the progect, ill have to barrow my girlfriends camera and get some detailed shots from like underneat and everything

[esee135]

Sweet setup, very original. If only they had an HPTuners setup for my B5 1.8QTM . I have my 04 Sierra 4x4 5.3L running at 62 TDC peak spark timing on 87 octane no knocking with my HPTuners setup.

[A4Rob]

Videos ASAP

[andyrew]

Stock radiator?
Stock CV's?

I foresee an issue..

This is coming from a fellow v8 conversion enthusiast (Read my 914 v8...)

Aside from that.. Continue :)

[pja0750]

Videos ASAP

X2 on this one

[blackedoutb5]

im actually waitin on a bigger radiator i found a v6 radiator sitten in a junkyard so i grabbed that for now but im waitin on an alumanium radiator, i forgot the exact messurments but i thinks its 26 1/2 W x 17 H x 2 D and i have to get either a 18 inch cooling fan or like 12 inch fans, not dure which won yet, and yea stock cv joints, i look at it this way if somethings doesnt hold up it just gives me an excuse to upgrade.

[Siena]

I'd say 2 x 12" cooling fans.

The B5 radiator is 25" between the end tanks.

[blackedoutb5]

i was also thinking to 12's (wow sounds like im 16 again talking subs) but anyway yea and the b5 radiator is only around an inch thick, which is absolutely nothing, the only issue in gonna have is right now i only have about 3/8 of an in between the radiator and the water pump and about 3/8 from the radiator to the grill, because chevy motors have a stupid water pump sticking about 5 inches out from the front of the block, and i looked at electric water (mostly used for drag racing) pumps but there electric motors are still about the same size, and yes chevy did made a short and long water pump for these motors but the short one is only 1/2 inch shorter and i already have it on there, i already have the bumper modified to allow alot more airflow. like i said to i only took it around the block for now so i never really had any air really flowing thru it, so will see what happens when i get the fans

[andyrew]

2ea 12's would be a good solution. Program one to run all either at 160 or all the time and then the other to kick on at 190 or 200 (Depending on where you want the engine to run)

You might have to go with pusher fans (Unfortunately less efficient) due to the space you have before the engine.



If you run pullers, try and either get a shroud or make a shroud, it really helps


You need to look at alternative rear ends/cv's very shortly. All that TQ is going to KILL your cv's. Seriously man. I'd hate for you to have to go live axle with this setup...

[mike-2ptzero]

The 914's have the same issue seeing that they have very little room back there, pretty sure my friend runs an electric water pump on his 914.

[andyrew]

914's have a couple of options,

They either run a side mount water pump w/ a belt, or an electric. The most common is the side mount. The electric pumps are remote. You run a couple of 90 deg fittings off the block and plumb the water pump wherever you want.

Engine swaps are allot of fun, but yours is badass good work!

[docurley]

This is clearly a project and a half so I moved it in to the project section.

[dougyfresh]

and i forgot to mention the turbo 350 transmission has a shift kit installed and a 2500 stall converter so atleast im not rollin with yur grandmothers chevy tranny from her cavalier or something

That must shift hard. My turbo 350 in my Chevelle has a 2500 stall converter and a fully built valve body. The tires chirp like mad at part throttle when it shifts into 2nd. So much fun to drive.

[S4orgy]

wat website did you find that kit at??

[Solaris]

Maybe this guy EAMartin on kitcentral.com (http://www.kitcentral.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=6172&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15&sid=982c62298c7d75b2e898fcb53bc3955c). I saw a while back another guy made one for the 01E on gt40s.com (http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-powertrain-transaxles/24018-ls1-audi-01e-adapter-complete.html)

[blackedoutb5]

i barrowed a digital camera from my girlfriend and took a few more pics nothin great yet,

also we finished up the fuel tank and everything, i have a fan rigged onto the front of the radiator and no bumper on or anything like that, me and my father took it for a beatdown mission, and we blew third gear so, so i need a new tranny(turbo 350 are cheaper to pick up another one than rebuild this one, so ill see what i can find, if i can find a 700r tranny id rather there there 4 speed o/d rather than a turbo 350 which is a 3 speed o/d, i also ordered 2 12 inch cooling fans

the hole i had to cut for the distributor

http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu347/soulonfire6699/CIMG3234.jpg

next i have to take everything and finalize it(after i get the trans issue fixed)
i have to finish painting some parts and clean up some welds, wrap the headers, now all the bulk work is done its down to the technical bullsh*t

[Siena]

Good work there.

What year is your car? And is it a facelift model?

[Solaris]

Cool. I like the 5.7 badge. Things may have changed since I was really into all of this, but I think 200R4s are a bit cheaper and a little more common than 700R4s, since it was in a lot of 80s cars. I had a Goodwrench 350 making around 325HP in my Monte Carlo SS many years ago with the stock 200 trans and it took a lot of beatings.

Sorry if I missed your mention of it. How much power are you expecting out of this engine?

[blackedoutb5]

yes its a facelift model, it's a 99.5
brilliant black outside black leather on the inside, did have black axis spider rims, until i split one in half by hitting a pothole

this car is pretty much like a father-son project, me being 20 i know more about newer motors and my father being he's 51 he knows alot more about old school carb'd motors, and he's asumming a little under 400hp,

the specs:
5.7 350
4 bolt main
edelbrock torker II intake mani
edelbrock cam (dont remember size of the top of my head)
worked heads-3 angle valve job, polished, stronger valve springs, new valves
( i bought them off a guy who races pro street modified class at pocono raceway and does the machine work for i think its the richard petty driving experence)
comp cam roller rocker arms
edelbrock lifters and push rods
summit racing gear drive
custom headers
electric fuel pump

since this project has bled me dry of money because im a full time college student and not working right now, i financed it by selling parts i have laying around and some help from my parents, so once i get the cash im putting in an msd distributor, holley 750 double pumper carb, posibble a more radical cam, but what i really want to do is build a 383 stroker, bore it out .030 over, and bigger valves
by then i hope to have the rear upgraded

[BenjaminR]

I admire the effort, but holy crappy welds batman! I wouldn't trust that engine cradle for the life of me. And did you get the tank pressure tested anywhere?

Im not trying to hate, but seriously the gas tank scares me. Even if it is peachy why not clean up the welds. I mean it seems you did a lot of work and then just gave up. It could be really really clean, little grinder time and a few cans of rattle.

hey man have faith, its a project, its no where near done yet,
the cleaning the welds and everyhting is all coming up, i wanted to get all the bulk work out of the way first, i'd never put it in a show or anything with them in that condition, and yes the tank was all tested and everything, its not the first one we put together, nothings finalized yet and believe it or not the motor mount support we fabbed up is stronger than the audi crossmember, u can jack it up on it and it doesnt flex at all, u do it to the audi crossmember and its flexing like a mother f'r

I found a LS1 to audi trans kit The complete kit is $1350. That includes the adapter plate, custom flywheel, clutch parts, starter, and bolts.. Not a bad deal, thinking of doing this swap in my 90q but i dont think there is enough room.

Any links to this kit? Sounds interesting to me.

[Siena]

Benjamin, relax!

It's very much a work in progress, no point in cleaning the tank / other parts up all pristine, till the rest of the work's done.

I think the builder's doing a sterling job as it is.

Guess its just different styles, I finish things before I move on. [wrench]

As stated I do really like it, heck id do it. Guess im a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to things of that nature I take a lot of time with my welding.

[a4mafia]

oh my gawwdddddd.... this is a beautiful swap. kickin it classic.... old skool mixed with new skool. LOVE IT

Classic hot rodding at its best.. This is what its all about folks! Going against the grain! I love it!

[97_a4_1.8t]

awsome swap. now you just need a supercharger [:D]
also would look ridiculous seeing an audi with a blower sticking out of the hood lol

[hibiscusB598]

this is blasphemy i tell ya.... its like going to germany and drinkin a bud light.

[Altech75]

this is blasphemy i tell ya.... its like going to germany and drinkin a bud light.

You're right, it would need a V10 at the very least to be unblasphemous.

[blackedoutb5]

its been a while since i posted anything... well she's almost done.

heres a little update

swapped out the turbo 350 tranny for a 200r4, i like it better cuz its a 4 speed auto instead of a 3

fixed all the cooling issues, got my 12 inch fans, everything keeps cool now.

fixed the minor oil leaks

all thats left,

i need a distributor cap and new sparks plugs, accel makes a set that is 3/8 of an inch shorter than stock plugs, i keep burning through wires on the headers, i should be gettin that tomarrow

then i need an inspection, lol, its gonna be a lil tough

heres a little teaser, she's not quiet done yet
http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu347/soulonfire6699/HPIM3475.jpg

[somebody5788]

I need to finish my 350 swap in my dads CJ Jeep lol. Going to put 2 Dynamax Super Turbo mufflers on it its gonna be sick.

[NeedingAnAudi]

Damn you and your teaser!!! Haha looks good

[blackedoutb5]

hahahahaha hell yea, she's alive
sorry no vids yet, i need to clean her up a bit, go over a few things, and then get an inspection

[blackedoutb5]

Hey im just wonderin has anyone ever heard of this swap b4, lol theres some jelouse people out there sayin theyve seen this done alot, im not tryin to act like a dick or anything but ive searched for it and couldnt find another.

[Siena]

Nope, I haven't heard of anyone else doing this swap either.

Will be worth all the hard work, once you can actually start driving her!

Just one thing - how do you pass inspection? Does having carburretors on a moder car, that was fuel injected make things tougher? That's the only thing I'd have done differently - gone fuel injected.

[blackedoutb5]

the only way ill pass inspection, is if the hood isnt opened lol, luckily my dad knows a few people with their own garages, who will do it

Everytime itll have to be a lick and stick

[getslideways]

whats the eta on getting some mobile video of this project?

[blackedoutb5]

well i took her out last night, got her inspected lol, that was fun. But i have 3 things left to finish up, need a need drive shaft, right now im runnin almost like the stock audi one and the carrier bearing is shot so its shakes, the exhaust has to get tucked up under the car more its way to low, and now that its inspected im gonna punch the cat out so its hollow and get a little more rumble out of it.

[getslideways]

cant wait for a video! get on it! lol

[nunya]

this is blasphemy i tell ya.... its like going to germany and drinkin a bud light.

BTDT, it was a great taste after being stuck in the EU and drinking all that heavy beer for 6 months. I had to go to a US Army base in Heidelberg to find it.

--dillon

[a4fann]

Video now, by far my favorite swap yet.

[diabolical1]

not exactly my cup of tea, but i definitely respect it because you deserve respect for doing it. i don't even really miss the Quattro here. about the only criticism, i'd offer would be the fuel injection argument which has already been mentioned.

all in all, i think it's very nice. i can't wait to see it in action. can't remember if you mentioned it or not, but what did you do for an exhaust system?

[blackedoutb5]

just a little update, sorry no video yet

well within the time i had it out(just the inspection and a little drive here and there) fried the rear

got a bmw 7 series rear, made some brakets and put that in, still holdin together
tucked the exhaust up more now i have about 2 1/2 inches of clearence there, but the roads suck in Pa so it scraped every now and then

had her out today, got almost everything working accuratly, just need to adjust the tv cable, car shifts way to quick, thats on tomarrows agenda

then a lil bit more fine tuning and then a video

[G Men 08]

subscribed!! this is epic


(i cannot believe i just said the e word)

[blackedoutb5]

since i had nothing to do today i decided to take some pics, shes still alive, not broken it completely yet, but soon

[viceprp]

Be awesome to see this thing run in person. I'm only 2 hours away and would make a bypass on my journeys to Scranton Univ this spring.

[redline86]

This is truely an amazing build. I ran into the OP a few weeks ago and saw this car in person. The engine looks like it belongs in there. I will try to meet up again and get a video made of it running. It sounds like a supercharged vett in a a4 body. He also recommended I join this forum since I just got a 97 A4.

[a4_1.8t_01]

That's really sweet. Good job man. You have inspired me lol

[chrisbostonusmc]

Dont listen to people. you had the balls to say fuck it and try something new and start to accomplish a big project wrenching on your own. Good job!

Im only about 20 min. away from Scranton U.
Anyway, im trying to get a video up but my camera is shot and my buddys never wanna come out and play(tape).

On the other hand, my exhaust is way to low, i think i rubbed a hole in it, and i wanna get my th-350 tranny back in, once i get that rebuilt (blew 3rd gear),
ill def get a vid up for sure, just be patient my fellow ziner's

[blackedoutb5]

LMAO, i know everyones just playin, i just had a rough day when i wrote that!!! sorry guys[headbang] but its mostly the little annoying things, like a power steering pump leak, oil leak when the intake mani bolts to the block, blew a few relays just stupid bs... the only problem is i dnt have the time to finish it with my classes and all the money i was gonna spend finishing the car went towards my books and what not[=(]...

Once its finished up for the most part and the weather gets nicer, i swear on my life ill get a vid up, cuz i wanna see it in action too!!!

[ThatA4T]

you can take a vid with a few leaks haha jk but good luck man! i cant wait! im sure u cant either

[blackedoutb5]

Well since theres been a break in the weather, I've been doing some finally tuning of the carb and what not... and a few beat down runs, finally going balls out, few nice burnouts, it was fun... and all of a sudden it started burning oil instead of gas, I actually broke a "few" piston rings. But right now its being rebuilt, everythings been cut and cleaned and honed.. all im waiting on is a gasket kit which will be here monday then ill be back in and running hopefully mid next week and yes i finally will then put a Long awaited VIDEO up... also just a little parts update, i just got a holley fuel pres. reg.

[MattzWarsteiner]

lol, holy crap! awesome swap!!!! please keep us updated on the progress!

Seriously. Could not believe the thread title.

Any "Brutal" car is awesome in my book!

[wesleyfbm]

[redline86]

Sorry, that was the only video I could get. I run into him from time to time since he is busy with school, so this will have to do for now. I will try to get a longer, clear video of the car. It is one awesome machine in person.

[dowsett6]

Is his front bumper still hacked? or was he able to clean it up a bit more?

[andkrs4]

[drool]

MOAR VIDEOS!!! :D

[Dynamite]

Sounds awesome, must under steer something terrible though? have to say we have been waiting for these vids for a long time.

Although on second thought, didnt he convert to RWD through a turbo 400 trans or something?

You should have been able to add this to the existing thread. Per the description of the projects sub-forum, this doesn't merit a new thread. I did merge it with the old one so all the info is now in the correct place.

[blackedoutb5]

Well guys, I've been gone for awhile, but im back and have alot of updating on this project to do. As it stand right now its almost daily driven unless i break something.

[ThatA4T]
