(ot) got an idea

[Cmr446@cs.com (Cmr446@cs.com)]

    I don't have all the numbers in front of me right now, but why would you 
want to go from a 2.2L 5-cyl to a 2.0L or 1.8L 4-cyl? Personally, if I had a 
Coupe shell I'd hunt down the turbo motor from another Coupe, 5000, or 80. 
    As a budget swap (body cheap, motor cheap), ok, I can see that, but for 
power why not go for boosted displacement?

<< i have my brothers '86 audi coupe gt down at the shop for some much needed 
 repair, and saw it parked next to "the shelf of motors" and got an idea. 
 what if i threw a vw 16v into a coupe gt. there's another coupe for sale at 
 a local yard, so i can get the shell dirt cheap. we have about 4 spare 16v 
 motors sitting here, so cost wouldn't be much of an issue, but how much work 
 would it be? i'm guessing it wouldn't be much harder then a 16v conversion 
 into an 8v, am i wrong? an ideas?
