Re: [gremlintime] Digest Number 594

[HH-7X@xxxx]

Davie Pershing ,

Don't screw up the Audi Powered car.

Get a Porsche 944 Turbo motor and 
bolt it in - it fits - same mount system 
as the Audi Engine .

Put the Audi motor aside as it is
a numbers match for the car.

There are next to none of these
Audi powered Gremlins left.

If you want to build a V8 Gremlin -
sell this one and buy a 6 powered
unit.

You'll ruin this car trying to make
it a V8 mutt - and it will cost
more to do than a 6 powered 
Gremlin would.
