I talked to a guy about the 930 and he said that it is long (33" I think I recall) and that it would probably need to be shortened a bit.

Also talked to my builder about this again. They offer support for both the 01E and the UN1 so don't really have any bias and suggested the 01E as the more viable based on the ability to get them and their track record with higher output engines (said he knew of one 700HP engine mated to a stock 01E that was living just fine). Also said that a little, not excessive, shaft angle isn't a bad thing at all wear wise (evens it out?) so I guess there will be an Audi 01E to purchase in the not too distant future.
