No, it's a Porsche developed engine, freshly developed, the parts are not interchangeable with the exception of some ancilliaries. It's a complete other engine.

I'm not saying it's great, I'm just saying it's a totally different engine to the Audi/VW one. Different block, pistons and heads. Not the same.

EDIT; Really though, I can think of a dozen other engines I'd prefer in a 944 (just keep the transaxle! Gotta have the transaxle.)
