[Jarred]

physically, probably doable. legally, probably not.

Better off with a MK3 diesel I would have thought.

i'm with pete...

36KWs of unbridled 1.5 non-turbo diesel power, pushing 1200kgs of Seat from standstill to... not standstill...

there's also a whole bunch of legislation ( in nsw at least ) preventing the installation of an older motor with less emission control into a newer chassis.

1.9 td is the way.

Bolt battern on Mk1 Diesel is same as 1.8 cordy or 2L Golf. So you can use that gearbox.
1.4 is a different bolt pattern and gearbox and so wont work.

legally speaking, its true in NSW its hard/impossible to engieer an older engine in a newer vehicle, however i reckon the combination of SEAT+Diesel+WTF would get you through a blueslip.

The problem really lies in the fact that it would be really really slow. But, if you get a 1.9D (from loon for instance) it would be fine, and legal too.
