    Default Audi A4 B5 W12 ?

    Is this even possible? My friend is about to buy a rear-ended A8, so he can use the engine

    Sooo...

    Its up to the Jury, Is this possible :P

    I've seen the RS6 engine swap but never this...

    Regards,
    The insane Norwegian guy

    More of your E36...but assuming your fabrication skills are top notch I don't see why it wouldnt be possible. You may, no most likely will have to somehow extend your front bumper.

    I mean, I guess it's possible but I can't imagine you'd have a firewall left or any turning ability... Obviously an exaggeration and I'd love to see it done.

    I hope to retain both the firewall and the oem location of both the gearbox an steering rack.

    Oh, i almost forgot. The A4 is a 1.8TQ so its a AWD. Just thinking... W12 AWD

    About as long as a 4 cylinder and narrower than the 4.2L V8. Block is aluminum.

    "...W12 engine has a reliable, highly compact design: 21 inches long, 28 inches high and 27 inches wide."
