9A block from Audi 88

[ydrogs at gmail.com (Gordy Stedman)]

If it has "2.0L" on the back side of the block, whether it is a 3A or 9A,
for under $100 I would get it.  I paid $300 for my 3A and it was still
attached to the rest of the Audi :)  PITA to drop since it was connected to
a auto tranny and in a B chassis but well worth it.  Putting a 16V head on a
3A would require new pistons and forged ones if you want to boost it.
