Let me put a couple notes in here since it's the most recent discussion of the Audi 4.2 Swap.

A critical dimension of the engines is from the transmission mating surface to the front of the cam covers:
The 32 Valve ABZ engine I have is a little under 19 inches.
The 40 Valve AUX engine is about 20 inches.
This makes to 40 valve engine a much tighter fit at the front. I made the mistake of using an ABZ engine to design my engine sub-frame, so I had to make a slight modification to my forward firewall to make it fit. I think it is close enough that a correctly designed sub-frame will work with the transmission slightly more to the rear than I have it.??

Here's one of the places I got it from:
To see the whole document, search for "V8-5VEngine.pdf". ...
I eventually made sense out of this. When the 40 valve engine is pinned at TDC, it's at TDC for cylinder 5, not cylinder 1.
