But I'm broke. >Chad Shepherd One of the more interesting (perplexing?) engine swaps I have heard was from the Audi parts place in Rancho Cordova, CA, German Auto Recycling. I was calling around checking on the prices of some parts and we got talking. The fellow there told me about a guy who was replacing the turbo engine in his 85 TQC with a VW VR6 engine. He was getting the VR6 and all needed parts from GAR. Why, why, why? I have heard the VR6 is a nice engine, but into a TQC??? Would it then be a V6QC? or maybe a vr6-q? - Dave Lawson dlawson@ball.com
