    don't bother swapping engines! alot more hassle than its worth, and you'll always end up with more stuff you have to do!

    physically it's the same engine (basically) so eng shld be a breze

    Engineering should be a breeze to get through with that conversion. 1800s came in some Mk1 chassis' so there's no doubt it'll be Ok. You might have to up-spec your brakes to match the 1800 MK1s though.

    Try Bill at Talk Torque Automotive - details are in the Vic Roads Engineer directory here http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rd...t29Mar2007.pdf

    Bill is the technical officer for VW Club Vic and has raced Golfs in the past.

    Just as a matter of interest was that engine ever used in a Golf or other Volkswagen? If you can prove that it was it might make things a bit easier.
