Cool to hear of yet another interesting swap using a D24T. I believe we now have everything from Land Rovers to Porsche 924's to old Jeeps to domestic pickup trucks on the forum here having had these installed.
Not to mention the variety of factory installations of course (Pinz, LT, Volvo). AND, someone recently informed me that Southwestern Bell used to use a D24 mounted vertically to power remote generator stations. No end to the possibilities for the D24 family!
Any photos of how it all worked out in the Type 44 and what you had to do to fit the inline six in the bay? From the little bit that I am aware of, even the factory inline five is a tight fit in the front end of the car. Did you need to modify core support or hood latch etc? Or shift the drivetrain back somehow? Would be fun to see a build thread or video if you have one. Welcome to the board!
I am working on a 2.5L V6 TDI installation into my 2001 Audi Allroad so that will kind of be a more modern incarnation of your same vehicle.
