Thanks Woody. I have not explored the trans options much other than I know the 986 s starter is in the very wrong place.

The 4.2 V8 from an A8 or A6 is the power plant I am leaning toward. I have seen the 5 speed take LS power, so I assume it will take 330hp/280tq. I also considered trying to cable shift and audi 01E with the middle drive deleted. I know that will take the power, juts unsure of inner CV options.
