Default Engine swap?
Is there any conversion kit out there to stuff the 4.2L in a B5? Hey you never know!

doing a K04 swap will be eaiser cheaper and more powerful than swapping in a 4.2

dont u have an s4.... why would u possibly want to swap a 4.2 into a car that already has a superior engine? u could pump out so much more power from the 2.7 then u could from the 4.2
