chevy 350 in a b5 a4

[will175]

Damn nice swap. Makes me want to ship you a B5 and have you throw a ls1 in it,lol.

[NYEuroTuner]

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.

Is that for the 01E tranny, and where did you find it?

Just spoke to them, They dont have any adapters for the 01E Trans, nor do they want to. :(

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
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]

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

[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.

[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

[NeedingAnAudi]

Looks a lot like my a4 except your's isn't all broked! Lookin good! really like the way swings look black on black

[washyourrhands]

this is just awesome

[ThatA4T]

i wanna hear it! haha imagine if you were next to that at a stop light

[biketsai]

vid-e-o

[WonPointAteTea]

can we get a video already i want to see and hear this thing in action!

[getslideways]

any updates? i fee like you are holding out on us lol

[A4-Achtung]

I love the photo shoot in the yard!! All trailer trash!! Git 'er done!! and post a video

[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!

oh and this is what happens when carb'd 350's go against stage 3+ me driving!

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

How are you doing as far as passing inspection, and did you find a way to avoid a cel light.. Please tell us more about what you've done to the wiring harness so far.


Great job btw.

imspection wise, i know some people.

and there is no wiring besides the one i put in for the distributor and tach, i have a huge box of pieces of wiring harness, so if anyone need the plugs i got a whole bunch of diff. things. all the gauges went to mechanical, i put some more in dept pics up a little later tonight
