Is This Possible In My MK1 Golf LS?

[Gold-mk1]

1.8T swaps are becoming common everywhere else but Australia...I think mainly due to the lack of available donor parts, and cost....however i have managed to find this...


is being loaded into the container now, hopefully here for xmas...

COOL ! although note the wiring menace on the left of the pic......won't need even half of that !!

Great engine for a golf 2or 3 but a lot of work making mounts for a golf 1.The AEB engine from a passat or A4 with the external water pump just bolts into a golf1 without any mods needed to the mounts plus they have the big port head.

Re: Pallet

Quarantine are gonna have fun with that pallet! Looks like an awesome motor. From the UK?

Haha,
well that was how it was stored , its coming in a sealed box, from the states. the shipper I use knows the deal as he is an expat aussie !!!

It is only a 150HP AWW code,23000 Mi, O2J, axles, pedals, all the wiring etc.. but for the price it was a bargain, bout 300Kg's for those that need to know the shipping weight.

Mounts are available from numerous sources, UK and US so with a standalone it will go into the MK 1 without any undue stress on my part.

leaving for the US next week for the MK1 GTG in Socal, some shopping and a lot of boozin..

Oz quarantine (AQIS) is very strict on anything organic in origin entering the country. We are free of a lot of exotic diseases (as a farmer I'm happy about this!) and they intend to keep it that way. I looked into importing a diesel engine and was told that wooden pallets were very difficult to clean and were frowned upon by AQIS. Second hand information I know, but I can believe it.

Yeah, sounds spot on, worked in Importation for 8 years !

Any wood sent from countries with bse or foot and mouth has to be burned at the docks coming into Oz. Expensive and inconvenient if your engine is on it!
