AND, someone recently informed me that Southwestern Bell used to use a D24 mounted vertically to power remote generator stations. No end to the possibilities for the D24 family!
Any photos of how it all worked out in the Type 44 and what you had to do to fit the inline six in the bay? From the little bit that I am aware of, even the factory inline five is a tight fit in the front end of the car. Did you need to modify core support or hood latch etc? Or shift the drivetrain back somehow? Would be fun to see a build thread or video if you have one. Welcome to the board!
I am working on a 2.5L V6 TDI installation into my 2001 Audi Allroad so that will kind of be a more modern incarnation of your same vehicle. |
I tried to add pictures but the limit for size was too small for what I had taken. I have to make them smaller and try to add them again for you guys. I didn't have to move the drivetrain back any but did have to cut a notch out of the core support between the hood lathead. then added a single motor mount and support bar tothe front of the engine and car to support the weight since I used the VW mount holes in the back portion of the engine. So far I have everything working including the stock tach and gauges.
