    Has anyone put an Audi 4.2 into a D1

    The Audi V8 was available mated to both the 4HP and 5HP series of ZF tranny. With all the older Land Rover engines getting up there in miles, makes me wonder if an Audi V8 would bolt right in. The early versions didn't have imobilizers so thats not an issue. My biggest worry would be the...
