Subject:      need info on 5 cyl swap
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

as my '87 audi 5000 quattro falls apart in bits and pieces around me, the engine and drive train pull like a freight train. I've found an '87 syncro with a broken tranny and a questionable engine. so i'm thinking, once i locate a good used tranny (hopefully less than $1,500 + $1,500 rebuild), what would it take to put in the 5 cyl? any info would be appreciated rather than going the kennedy enginerring and suburu engine swap, as i already have the 5 cyl and since i've been told the quattro drivetrain doesn't fit the vanagon i'd sell the rest of the car. TIA
