        Great tip, thanks.

        Just don't do it in the middle of winter - would take ages for the rubber to adjust to it's new shape.

          It's time I let you in on a secret of mine. My little bunny is getting a new heart some time in the next couple of months. I stumbled upon a crossflow, external water pump block know as an AFT out of a 99 Cordoba late last year, and have slowly been putting parts together to get this thing ready. I'm almost ready for the big day, so I thought you should all informed of the journey so far.A little dirty. Time for a bathAnd a home botch port jobPartner her with a 280 hydro Cat Cam, and some Autotech HD valve springsAdd on a Rowland manifold (home painted)ExtractorsJust time to sort out the pair of Dellorto DHLA 40s going on it.Still have to organize distributor and associated ignition, alternator to fit under the carbs, offset radiator and a couple of other bits and bobs before the conversion can go ahead.

          This is an exciting time for my bunny...

              [emoji15] Nice engine! I'd be stoked if it looked like that. Here is my main sources of inspiration though...

                  Does all the water and oil galleries line up from the head to block?

                  What head gasket you going to use?

                    Geeez! Loving how different this is! Wasn't aware of any crossflow 8v engines.
                    What's the displacement?

                      It's a 1.6 with the 81mm bore that all the 1.8s came with. So it's very simple to stroke out. I'm leaving it as a 1.6 however, due to short stroke, it will love to rev

                      It's a factory head for the block. No modification required. It's a shame how rare they are in Australia, but it does give me some ner ner value haha

                        Sorry I thought you were putting the cross flow head on a 2ltr bottom end!

                            It's a 99 seat cordoba engine. They did come in mk3 golfs also, but never in Australia. Code is AFT

                                I picked the whole lot up from Jolly's in dandenong one day when they had the Cordoba there. It was luck really. Cost me just shy of 300 including flywheel, clutch, intake manifold and distributor. Just keep an eye on their website for a Seat, and hopefully the right one shows up. They're also a good source for an ADZ, which is a great motor to have in a mk1

                                As far as I know, this engine has never been put into a mk1. Although I would love to be proven wrong haha
