Before i put the motor in, i will be installing texas speeds torquer v2 camshaft and valvetrain upgrade kit. DGR also quoted me $900 for a set of their custom made longtube headers. No thanks. I will make them myself. $180 for a diy longtube kit that comes complete with flanges, mandrel u bends, and 3" collectors. here is a vid of a torquer cam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AxFEV9b0Y8

yea, i'm just looking for the engine mounts and transmission mount, didn't need anything else as those i can do locally without much hassle.

I was also quoted $1200 for just the mounts.

For that much money I'll figure it out myself. Especially when you're thinking about doing a 5.3+A4 swap, thats more than the entire drivetrain would cost me.... by a lot.

just curious, but what do you do with the ecu and wiring with this swap? Does everything in the car still function when you are done?
