engine swap idea?
Ok so i was throwing a few ideas around with my friend of what i am going to do if i cant sell my a4 whitch has taken a beating over the winter. One idea was to do a engine swap with somthing that has cheaper parts to replace and is a bit easyer to work on. So he metioned swaping in a sr20det. Now of course it would take quite the bit of modifacation to work. But i was thinking it would be pretty sweet to see an A4 drifting at an event haha. So besides fabing new motor mounts and the massive amount of wiring, custom axles and drive shaft what else do you think would be needed? fully fabed uo front and rear control arms?
The only reason im really thinking of this is beacause if it ends up beaing to much work i could always throw the sr into my 240 so im thinking if i cant sell the audi y not see if its possible.

If you're dead-set on swapping motors, look into a VR6 conversion (or better yet, a VR6-T). Not a cheap job, but less money than pretty much any other swap out there, especially when looking for more power as well (and the VR6-T has made 680ish whp in an A4 - check out www.034motorsports.com -they did the swap). At least using a VR6 keeps the engine in the VAG family and may simplify some of your work.
