Just for my own curiosity would this type of conversion work for a reg old 1.8T A4 quattro, or is it S4 Specific?

^^^ The V8 conversion will work with any B5 A4.

The above base car is a 1,8T Sport, mine was a 2,6 V6 Quattro Sport.

The blue car isn't mine, it's a customer's.

The orange one's mine, and I had the widebody done on that one.

No plans to use the RS6 V10 engine in a smaller chassis, as it's too long. Perhaps further down the line, when the engines become more readily available, we'll gut a B5, and start from a bare shell, and build a new firewall, allowing the engine to sit further back in the chassis.

Wow this is probably one of the coolest projects ever!

What kind of power does the v8 push? Is there any difference in what it'll do in the b5 body compared to the v8's stock body?
