I can’t stop thinking about this:

A completely sorted C5 Audi Allroad Quattro

Kinja'd!!!

with an engine/trans swap, a C6 5 liter V10 Twin Turbo from the Euro spec RS6

Kinja'd!!!

...it will never work.

I just needed to get that thought out of my mind.

See ... when I thi nk about what I would do with an absurd amount of money all I can think about is buying everything under $ 10k on my local CL and spending my days playing with them like Legos .

I would rather have a C6 RS6 sedan than a C5 Allroad sedan...who am I kidding, I'm rich!  I'll take this, too!

See, that doesn’t quite jive with me. If I suddenly became stupid rich I would do a 5S-FE swap on a Lexus I S300, take it to a Cars & Coffee, and watch people’s faces as they go “wuh?” while I play my cool face and ask them “problem?”

Being stupid rich lets you do crazy shit like that for shits and giggles all long day long. Embrace it.

I have a weird dream of putting an 80's BMW straight six into a wooden boat, specifically one that would have had an old straight six to begin with. My father in law has just such a boat. He looks at me funny when I suggest this, as does everyone. But man, it would be great, and just picture the faces of the crotchety old wooden boat people when you lift up the mahogany engine cover and show them the BMW valve cover.  RIGHT?!

I think you should add an IS300 SportCross with a 1LR-GUE swap and be like:

Buy a vacation home at Bathurst, where I keep cars that I can't buy in the US.

The M20B27 from the E30 325e would make an excellent boat engine, the low compression versions in particular . Low speed, high torque, good fuel economy, low NVH. If I were to repower an old boat, didn’t want to go through the expense of overhauling an old marine diesel or buy a new Yanmar/Vetus/Beta engine, and could find a suitable gearbox, this would be a solid way to go.

Also, FWIW, mahogany is used down below. On deck you want teak.

The difference is that with Bathurst, you can have a house literally on the course, and watch races in your front yard.

With all due respect, most of the wooden boats I’ve been around - small runabouts, 16-24' - have been nearly all mahogany, above and below water. You might see teak in the floor, it’s better for non-glossy finishes like you’d want where you’re walking.

I like the idea of the M20B27, and I think I’d just have to have a machine shop make something up to connect the bell housing to a velvet drive or similar transmission like you’d see in a direct drive ski boat. I don’t know how much electronics come on those engines, but I’d imagine if you bring the ECU it wouldn’t need to be hooked up to a complete gauge cluster, would it? That’s the mysterious part to me. Cooling would be the other challenge, you’d need a way to pull in lake water and then a way to dump it out the exhaust....

That's why I said "...and"

Fortunately boats don’t need fancy gauge clusters, and if you want fancy stuff you’ll be using NMEA 2000 anyway, for which analog-to-N2K interfaces exist.

As for cooling, you’d simply hook up an accessory raw water pump to move water from the throug h-h ull to an external heat exchanger and then on to the v ernalift. The other side of the heat exchanger would be occupied by standard anti-freeze flowing through the engine and driven by the stock water pump. The two-cylinder diesel in my boat is set up that way.

If I ever became rich, I’d just end up with a yard full of 80s/ 90s Mopars, all in some form of partially completed.

I would build a bad ass shop to work on said Mopars though.....

Town and Country started in 1990.

I’d be down for a RWD Demon/Hellcat Caravan/Voyager. This could be the van:  https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/cto/d/mechanics-special-1994-dodge-caravan/6757997345.html
