The VAG V10 and V12 diesels are very heavy, I doubt there's much aftermarket knowledge to sort the engine and gearbox electronics for swaps, and I suspect he'd prefer to stick a Land Rover/Ford 4.4 TDV8/ZF8HP in there. 
In terms of cost vs performance vs economy, I think there's a strong argument for just putting an LS into one. |
