I did some more digging to try and find a ecu to run the engine that would be cheap and so far it was the ignition holding me up but i have just found that the LS3 uses a 58x wheel and the audi uses the same 58x or as some call them 60-2 so what does it all mean not sure yet but i might be able to run a GM ecu

Have you looked at the Megasquirt system? Been poking around on their website doing some research for my swap, they are supposed to be coming out with a controller for coil on plug ignition. Otherwise their system can be run with a Ford EDIS ignition. There is a ton of info on this setup and it looks like all the ign components can be had from a pick-and-pull or junkyard.

I have but i am just trying to find the cheapest way and so far it really is the 034 motor sport chip and immobilizer for about $700, the chip is for the 4.2 V8 and standard transmission. the cheapest way i have found is to stick with the 5 speed automatic transmission with tiptronic shifting that would allow a paddle shifter but i am told the shifting is SLOW between gears.

Are those 2x4's for the legs or 4x4's?
Duno if I would trust 2x4's installed in that position; should have them twisted 90deg to get more strength...

well i am still looking at the tiptronic 5 speed automatic transmission as well due to it makes things cheaper and easier . this is the gear ratio for the tiptronic out of a 1998 A8 non quatro with a 3.7 V8 Automatic
1-3.665:1
2-1.999:1
3-1.407:1
4-1.000:1
5-0.742:1
R-4.096:1
FD-3.091:1
they make chips for the transmission to speed the shifts up to 1/5 the time of what a stock transmission takes to shift
