I have my A8 stripped, and sold enough parts to make it a pretty good deal. Now I'm starting to think about actually doing the engine swap. I have little skill or knowledge, but lots of parts and ideas. Right now my idea is that I want to know that I can make this engine run before I bolt it into the car. Once it's in the car, it will be fairly inaccessible. I did complete the maintenance on the engine including the water pump, timing belt, and camshaft adjusters, then put about 100 miles on it before I stripped the car.
Here's what I'm thinking of next:
