Thinking about m6 to a3 or a4 swap, what do you think?
 

Hey guys, Im thinking about swaping out my t-56 for an auto. Want to run more consistant and Im thinking about getting more serious with the car. Questions i have are:

Are the 411s over kill on a spray car planing on low 10s?

Is the a3 completly not steetable?

What rpms would i be at at 80mph with the a3 compared to the a4

How much cheaper would it be going a3 route, and what are the benifits of a turbo 400 and the benifits of a 350?

Thats about it, if any one has any real world experience with the swap or how the car drives please ring in.
Thanks
Alex

4.11's are fine on motor with the a4 but i'm crossing the traps at around 6500. so i wouldn't spray it with those gears.

im in the process of going from an m6 to a th350 right now. i have everything ordered except a crossmember which im just going to fab up myself. im really anxious to see how much of a difference its going to be

I would also like to here more about the drivability.

I have a th350 in my car...went from M6 to A3.
I had 4.10's w/ the M6....Now I have the stock 3.42's back in, and I love it. The 4.10's to me were too much for a daily driver. At about 60mph it was turning about 3200rpm. Now with the 342's in it I am doing about 70 @3200rpm. It is a blast to drive. Not sure on the gas mileage, I haven't got the speedo working yet, parts should be in tomorrow though.

With the 4.10's in my car it felt like the car would have topped out at like 90-100mph, with the 3.42 it is way better. Driving around town, w/3400 stall I don't even notice the stall.

I wish I would have done it sooner instead of putting 3-4 clutches in the M6 first
