Hi guys, I've searched and searched and can't find what I'm looking for. Does anyone have a high quality picture of an ALH block? I'm trying to figure out if there are any bosses on the front and back of the engine that are undrilled/untapped. I am hoping there are so I can drill and tap them and make flanges to mount the engine. This is for my ALH -> 96 S6 swap.

Thanks in advance!

There are just too many to list....
All the bosses are already drilled. There should be some OE part, perhaps from the B5's part shelf, that you can use for your project.

The A6's engine/trans mountings should be pretty much the same as the Audi A4 and Passat B5.

The S6 I'm using had an A6 variant in Europe with a TDI, mounted longitudinally, but it was the AHU. I know for sure that the ALH does not have the drilled bosses of the AHU, but it may have them undrilled/tapped. Or it may have some other bosses that are unused that I can use.

You mentioned that they're all already drilled - do you happen to know if they are all used by something?
