Motor Mounts Build for LS Swap Audi (& Starter Finished!) Ep: 12 

Thanks man. Been a hell of a lot of work so far but will be worth it to make this a bolt in swap.

Thank you! I didn’t really say in the video but designing the starter bracket and getting it to work was the hardest part of this project thus far.

Thanks!

I appreciate it very much!!!!!

Yes it is, but it does fit the transmission tunnel with a bit of hammering. The subframe also needs clearanced or a tubular subframe has to be used. What makes the B8 transmission worth it is that the axle flanges are roughly 5-6 inches further forward compared to the O1E so that means the engine sits closer to the firewall without excessive angle of the front CVs. So using the B8 transmission (OB2/OB4) is the lesser of two evils. The O1E won’t fit unless you move it back and put crazy angles on the front CVs or relocate your radiator to the back because the engine would be sitting so far forward.

You could sit the motor further back so might be easier; doesn’t mean the transmission is gonna clear the tunnel though. The front axles you can just run the outer CV to eliminate them. The biggest problem will changing out the rear differential and fabbing a mount as well as axles to fit since the Audi driveshaft and rear end rotates opposite to what most domestic cars do.

Ah dang didn't know it was reverse rotation! Maybe a cool opportunity to fit a CTS-V diff or something that can handle serious power though.@@projectLSaudiA4
