Why bother using the VW head?  Assuming we are talking about the same 
engine, I've used the complete AUDI engine, i.e. block, head & inlet 
manifold and retained my original CIS setup.  The donor car was a '92 
audi '80 2.0E (CIS-E), engine code AAD.
I've had a few problems getting the fuelling right and there was the 
slight problem of where to put the warm-up regulator but other than that 
it was pretty straightforward.  BTW, the audi intermediate shaft can be 
easily modified to use the VW distributor.
