Anything and everything you can! Lol I cant ever find Ludes in the junkyard here. They are so uncommon its unreal. Good find.

Id say, check the mileage on it since it doesnt have the looks of it having been wrecked, odds are the motor went on it. BUT, that doesnt take away the great price on the engine, so take what you can, afterall, its an A4, USDM ftw! It'll prolly cost you as much to get another complete used one, but you'll have new parts.

Take these at least:
-Whats left of the A4
-5lug swap
-Rear hubs
-Cluster
-Interior pieces

i personally wouldnt use that motor unless you were using it for a full build. being out in the elements with the hood and valve cover off like that is definately not a good thing for the steel parts inside of there. that being said, you should definately still buy it. a bare head is worth a decent amount, and the same with a bare block. you can keep it on a stand or just in the corner and gradually buy the parts to rebuild it until you have a full motor ready to drop in.

the head is worth more than the block. block probably has a rod knock or worn sleeves and needs to be rebuilt.

Grab anything you think looks decent, that's what I'd do. It's impossible to find a BB here

[tonystyle27]

so if i snatch the brake assembly will it be a direct bolt up for my cb7

and we didnt even, take a part they would need off of it so we could get it, then they came and took it from us.

[DJ metadelic]

OP: what did you end up grabbing off the car, if anything?

I went back yesterday it's still there. I should grab the ECU.....?

[5spd92]

O.O what?!?!?!??!?! i was at a bball game instead of the JY?!?!? what is wrong with me. ill be down this weekend again lol. grab the ecu, and grab something they would they will have to pay high dollar for. i would say the head but then expose the cylinders which could cause damage. same with VC Intake manifold?
