IIRC it's pretty hefty motor, obviously long too

Engine and half of the gearbox is in front of the front axle, and as said it's quite long. Needs a mahoosive front overhang

Sounds good, I thought about a 5 cylinder being a fan and having a few in the past. I have a 4age in my tiger and there is heaps space left up front
I think a 5 will fit ok. Not sure if the quattro running gear would be much use though. The front drive shafts will be too far back. Id try and mate
a type 9 gearbox and stick to rwd.
Thanks
Adrian

OK thank you for the info
If the car is in good Nick i may just do it up and use it on the road 
What do you think it is worth i think it is a 86 year

It's probably "worth" a grand, but the ashes to ashes crew massive like will have it selling at much more than that providing
it's rough enough and has T&T
Also, if your thinking about donoring it you might want to book yourself into a mental asylum at the same time
For cheap and easy 5cyl noise get an ovlov T5, newer, more reliable, more power and free of the guilt that comes with ruining a UR, best of all, same
noise!
