Why not go TH400, that seems to be the popular/easy swap from an M6. Plenty of info here . . .

Cool

Here is what I learned from converting my A4 1998 Z28 to a TH400:
  1. You can use your stock flywheel, provided it has the dual pattern. I don't recall it on my 2001, but the 1998 had the SBC converter bolt pattern. Just requires 1/8" spacers.
  2. The TH350/400 will bolt up using the side bolts along the alignment pins, the bottom three and center top one are not used.
  3. You'll need a shifter for a TH350/400.
  4. You'll need the VSS from a 3sp 4L80 (the non-electronic trans in the late model trucks). This is available from GM.
  5. Since yours is an M6, you'll need to correct the speedo by multipling it 2.5 times. A4 going to A3 need only a connector to plug into the 3sp VSS I mentioned above.
  6. You need a spacer for the OEM trans mount to work. I just bought a BMR K-member and solid mount for the trans.
  7. You will need to lengthen your driveshaft to work. Be sure you do not need the large TH400 slip yoke, the 4L60E one will not work. It will work on a TH350 though. Not an issue with M6 conversions.
  8. You will need a dipstick tube, I chose the Lokar flexible, firewall mounted one from SummitRacing.
  9. Finally, you'll need to get a torque arm that uses an aftermarket TQ arm mount, or one that incoporates the trans x-member as well.
Hope this helps
