Audi A6 gearbox to rv8 engine, whats needed ?
Hi,
Does anyone know whats involved in putting a 5 speed manual a6 gearbox behind a rover v8 ? Because I have a 4.6 one in the floor.
Thinking rear engine after looking at some cars at Goodwood... expecially a little cooper.
Cheers Mark

The V6's are much more common and MUCH cheaper and really rather good, but the V8 is nice

You will need to make up an adapter plate and extend the crank by around 20mm It can be done,but I gave up and got an Audi 4.2 V8 off flea bay for
£110. Try searching this forum for info http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-powertrain-transaxles/

I am doing this, adaptor sawn off a manual box, to be welded to the Audi box (losely clamped in place), then using the ring gear and spacer for a ZF
auto to take the Audi clutch.
