Pages: 1 Des M Reged: 02/03/2011 Posts: 1 A8 (4.2 ) motor into V8 (D11)       02/03/2011 03:12 Edit   Reply   Hi, I wanted to inquire if anyone has attempted to swap the 4.2 motor from a D2 A8 (4.2) into a D11 V8 (4.2) chassis. Is it a direct swap and is there a write-up available. I figure it would be a great way to improve the reliability and performance of the V8 Quattro.. Thanks in Advance....

You are talking about an ABZ engine?

It seemed there was enough similarity with the ABH. 85 WR quattro 90 V8 Silver, 91 V8 Black, 93 V8 Lago 93 100e quattro V6.

More common over on the continent, I think. Audi A8 4.2 uses ABZ engine. It appears to have a number of external parts in common with ABH/PT. So dimensions wise, it should be straightforward. I was considering getting an ABZ to explore this route. But if we are talking about making engine mounts already, then, I don't know. 85 WR quattro 90 V8 Silver, 91 V8 Black, 93 V8 Lago 93 100e quattro V6.
