Will a 1.8 GX K-Jet Head fit on a 2.0 2E motor?

[Peter Jones]

go for it Pete and i look forward to seeing how it all goes should be an interesting build!

Yeah, - Interesting.

This should address the immediate shortcomings of the GX without having to figure out a replacement induction system for the moment.

Still very tempted to bring an ABA crossflow head back from the US when I visit there next year. I'd want to build up a motor from scratch for that though.

I'm still researching - haven't quite figured out the approach yet.

Trouble with the ABA conversion is the lack of info out there. I can't find much information because the US market got the ABA motors and the UK market got the 2E motors. There doesn't seem to be too many places where the 2 items are common enough for someone to have written this up. (But I'm still looking)

What I'd like to be sure of is that a 2E block is the same as an ABA block.

I'm certainly not going to ship in an entire motor! I'd sooner go 16v.

Does the New Beetle not have a crossflow motor?

Hmm 16v.. The more you talk, the more money i can see you spending, Pete.

16v's are expensive to build. Stupid extra valves.

I just got a shipment including a complete aba and a few heads.
Hit me up peeps if you want.

The 2e pistons are different to the aba I believe.

Yeah you need the 2L belt Pete.

The MKIV and new Beetles have crossflow 2.0L's as well, Seb showed me the one in his wrecked Beetle.
