new engine
my 1990 audi 90 currently has 150,000 miles on it. i was wondering if i were to drop a new engine/engine with fewer miles, what type of engine could i drop into my audi 90 that would be fairly easy to find? what would be the cost of that type of engine? is it ideal to drop a new engine?
thanks

Re: new engine
Check and see what a new engine costs, I know for VWs they are actually quite inexpensive, but that's VW!
I would have no fear of buying a well-maintained used engine with 100k on it for an Audi. I would only put in what you already have, there isn't really an upgrade for the Audi 90 that is easy.
I'd also wonder why you want to replace it at 150k? My 2.2 had 136k on it when I pulled it, had no problems, no oil consumption, only a minor leak and the typical noisy lifters at startup. Most 5 cyl's can easily do 200k or more. I know of one with about 250k on it with no consumption issues.
