I'm pulling the engine this weekend and am going to save it and Clem it up for a future project.
The engine itself is in pretty good condition. 127k miles, good compression, etc.
Whatever I put the engine in is bound to be a smaller chassis car, either a coupe (if I can find one cheap enough with a good interior/exterior) or my Cabriolet which is (obviously) non Quattro but in really good condition inside and out - plus already manual swapped.
For that reason, I will need to scrap the distributors. I found an A8 at the local pull and pay today and grabbed this stuff...
So a bunch of questions,
Other than the above stuff from the ABZ (valve covers, coils, intake manifold, throttle body, valley pan) what should I grab?
Do I need the engine harness from the A8?
I am assuming that I'll need to go standalone for this engine setup right? If so, is VEMS the easiest option?
What all do I need to grab from the V8 before I scrap it?
