So, I'm new to this forum and cannot post in the builds/projects section. Anyway, I've had my Audi for a couple of years now and just decided to swap in a V8 last month. Overall, I'm happy with the result, but have some questions for the experts around here on a couple of issues.

Without further adieu, here's my car:


The 4.2L V8 came from a wrecked A6 that I bought for $650.



The A6 had 156k on it. The guy I bought it from had taken the auto trans, which was fine with me because I didn't want the slush box anyway. I got right to work on pulling the engine so I knew what I was working with.
