I’ve always wanted to do a V8 conversion in an early small-chassis Audi, so I took the opportunity to shove a PT 3.7 V8 into the 4000s rather than rebuild the existing engine. After sourcing one online, I was a little surprised when a full semi trailer pulled up with literally just this V8 inside it. The driver got out and said “You got anything to get this out of my truck with?”, opened the back door and then promptly got back inside the cab.
As it happened I’d bought an engine hoist literately that morning which I was assembling, so I quickly finished building it and unloaded the motor into the grass. He left, presumably to go and find a delivery that made a little more sense.
