Saw a 928 engine for sale on Craigslist last night if anyone out there was thinking of doing a conversion. It was only $700 and looked complete. I'm very tempted but with a small garage and things yet to finish on my car, I'm going to pass on it

Well there are a lot of audi/passat FWD tiptronics that will work, but you have to have the tip computer and wire it in properly. The boxster/cayman will also work.
The tiptronic transmissions are pretty weak, primarily because the torque converters have such a low stall speed. You should really get a parts car to rob everything from. The v8's never came in automatic fwd's though so thats going to be difficult, but they did have many automatic awd's. So you could pull the quattro trans in favor of the FWD trans. Or you might be able to weld up the quattro diff to send equal power front/rear and ignore the rear spinning out drive. That will however leave you with a very long transmission though. |
