You can do anything with enough money but the real question here is why would you want to do that? If your expecting it to bolt right in then your in for a world of hurt.Do somebody know if is posible to install engine from A8 audi in to suzuki samurai?
I have no doubt that it's "possible"..... throw enough time and money at the problem NASA could fly the Suzuki to the moon if they wanted to.
The major questions I would be asking myself right now if this was my project are:
1. What model to Audi engine are you taking out of the A8 Audi?
2. How powerful is said Audi engine?
3. Will the Samurai need sub-frame connectors and a better suspension to handle the power of the Audi engine? (most likely yes)
4. Can you make the Audi motor and trans fit in the Samurai?
5. Can you make a custom drive shaft for the Samurai for the new drive train?
6. Will the Samurai's rear-end and brakes handle the Audi motor?
7. Can you use the rear-end and brakes off the Audi R8?
8. Will the Samurai need to be raised in order to fit the Audi motor?
9. Will the Samurai be street legal and safe when you're done?
10. Do you need the Samurai to be street legal and safe when you're done?
No doubt putting a Audi A8 drive train in a Suzuki Samurai is a cool idea but it's my bet that the motor won't just bolt-in (99% sure it won't) and you will be effectively creating a custom Samurai. Now I've see people do crazier and more difficult upgrades to cars but they're building custom cars and you should no illusions about how much work it will require to make a drivable custom Suzuki Samurai with an Audi drive train.
