By the time Project Judas self immolated, he'd poured so much cash and parts and time in to it that he might as well have just used a 4.0TT (had they existed at that time). It was an interesting project from an engineering perspective, but it just highlighted to me the many reasons for keeping with a family engine instead. The LS is considerably longer than the Audi V8 by the time it has all its accessories fitted. Haydn had to move the gearbox back several inches, and still had a lot of time in to finding the shortest possible accessory setup for the LS.
