Derek's B5 A4 4.2L V8 Swap
I purchased this car off our co-worker, Evan, after pestering him 5 times for it, with the full intent of doing a 4.2L belt driven V8 swap out of a 2000 S8. Since purchasing, the swap is complete along with replacement of the entire B5 S4 front & rear subframes and suspension. I rounded out the build with an 18Z BBK in the front and B5/B7 S4 BBK in the rear. To keep that V8 cool I took a MK4 Radiator and flipped it with some persuasion with a tig welder along with an E-Fan conversion.
