D15b8 help please

By 92egdxhatch
- Sat Jun 05, 2010 7:20 am #198744 Yes I'm aware this motor sucks. I've searched but can't find what I'm lookking for. I've obtained a freshly rebuilt b8 bottom end, and an a6 head. The b8 has pm3 pistons. So I know the a6 head will work. My question is what is needed to make the obd-0 head work with my obd-1 car? Can I just use b7 dizzy? Intake mani? Or would it be easier just to use my b7 head with the a6 cam?

Any information, tips, are needed and welcome. Thanks in advance, Andrew.
