s8 conversion
I have a front impact S8 lying in one of the local scraps, apparently the car spun out of control and then overtuned twice...Crazy people
Some people dont know how to drive.I'm thinking of salvaging parts for my car and i have a few questions
1) Can an S8 engine be dropped in or do major changes need to be made
2) Can it be used with the same A8 transmission?
2) What suspension components do i need to pickup to get the lowered S8 look.

1) Don't know, but I would think that it could.

3) Springs, shocks. And while you're at it, do the sway bar. That's the best $250 or so anyone could spend, to improve the handling of an A8. And I'd strongly consider H&Rs & the swaybar instead of going with S8 suspension components. Or even just do Bilstein/Eibachs, and the swaybar, if you're worried about the H&Rs being too harsh. But do the swaybar.
