Page "American Motors" Paragraph 242

< sup > 1 </ sup > AMC contracted with Volkswagen to buy tooling for the Audi 2. 0 L OHC I4.

Major parts ( block, crankshaft, head assembly ) were initially purchased from Audi and shipped to the U. S. where final assembly was accomplished by AMC at a plant purchased specifically for production of this engine.

Sales never reached numbers to justify taking over total production.

AMC made several changes to the engine.

They were prevented from using the Volkswagen or Audi names in association with the AMC assembled version by contractual agreement.
