No, unfortunately not :( There's not enough room between the strut towers to fit the V8 transversly. The only way to do it is longitudaly using an Audi 'box, which means moving the bulkhead and is a whole different kettle of fish!! Paul Woods has fitted a Audi 4.2 V8 into a MK1 in this way :clap: and is currently looking at squeezing a BMW 5.0 V12 into a MK2!! :crazy:

He's using the new Audi box where the shafts basically come out of the front of the bellhousing, and if he does have to cut the bulkhead it shouldn't be my much - Impressive!! :clap:

And the madness begins :crazy: -

After the event I'll buy the bits left and fit the engine into another Fiat X1-9 or the back of the "Guff" Cinquecento. ;)

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
