S6 V10 in a B3/B4?

[Bowie69]

V10 critical specs:

approx. 220 kg (485 lb) length: 685 mm (27.0 in), width: 801 mm (31.5 in), height: 713 mm (28.1 in) with all components

W12:

Weight 245kg, length: 513 mm (20.2 in), height: 715 mm (28.1 in), width: 710 mm (28.0 in) then 690 mm (27.2 in)

*edit* weight now added....

Yeah, that was my thought too, so a bit of chopping and a slim wide radiator and it may squeeze in....

W12 - well, having seen the W12 golf made in the factory, mid engine and a complete handful, I suspect the weight of the engine may be even more than the V10,but perhaps not, no idea

It would surely be comparable to the I5 in "length" from the gearbox?

The W12 would be shorter though

Jase.

An entirely hypothetical question.... We all know the audi V8 fits quite snugly in a B-chassis car, but how much longer is the V10, and does anyone reckon it is possible with a front mounted radiator? Appreciate there would be surgery to the front crossmember, but that is not a problem for most people.....

I've Googled a bit but come up short, so thought I would ask on here
