V6 or V8 Engine Swap Into T4 Caravelle

[fiox1]

Hi All,

I am thinking of doing an engine transplant into a T4 Caravelle.

Other than the V8 T4 (I believe it is an Audi A6 4.2L V8 Quattro conversion), has anyone done something similar?

Any info would be appreciated.

Regards,

There's been a few Porsche engine swaps too. Mind you...most of them put the engine out the back.

There's scope for a few different V6 engines up front but it'll be cramped unless they are fairly shallow Vs...same goes for the V8s.

With my dual cab chassis I'm thinking either a mid mounted Porsche engine or a full electric conversion.

If they are still in business the guys at Camden GTI did a radical transplant a few years back in a T4 but not sure what they used . They used to post on here but havent seen them in the last few years .

There’s the RST5 V8 twin turbo AWD already been done by Not Just Campers in the UK and there’s another madman in the UK putting a Audi V10 in a T5 dokka!

They are apparently putting a 4.2TDI V8 into an Amarok.

I have a similar interest for the T4/5 transporter range but looking at diesel options in lieu of 2.5 TDi
Audi have a 3.0 litre V6 but being 90 degree V , it could struggle for space.
Can anyone confirm ..?
