#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.

#198817 I have never done it, but have read it is. The only thing I would check out is the cam gear... to find out which one you need to keep timing from being off 1/2 a tooth.

#199004 you can use a y7/y8 cam gear, or your adjustable gear (advanced 4.x* or 1/2 tooth)

#199033 Can I just take the a6 cam right out and put it in my b7 without needing anything new?
