Bought an MK1 :D :D

[Mischa]

This may be a bit forward, but.... can I make love to your car?

only if i can make love to yours

Easier to put in a 9a if you want a 2l and run it with kr cams, ABF is a long block and is a pain to get in a mk1 as the stock manifold will hit the bonnet.


Looks like a nice straight unit, very similar to mine

hmm i see.. do the mounts line up though?

It is a mk3 engine, so I would say you can use standard mounts.. don't quote me on that one though.

Mischa.....i know of 3 ABF motors for sale...do it! (Yes I keep an eye on things for when i buy one)

It bolts straight in although perhaps height might be an issue in the Mk1? not sure? Just get some better mounts for it first....leave one motor for me though!

Reminds me of one of my favourite cars...

ABF on twins FTW bro! to helll with injection its a mk1

[Golf Loon]

The Mk1 has no subframe, but most 4 cylinder motors will physically bolt in. Provided you have the boltholes underneath the timing cover for the side mount, you are set.

You can have my 11:1 comp. 140HP 1.7 for mates rates.. Straight bolt in. Just a blue slip for engine No. change.

This would go like the clappers. Preeny's told me abit about it before. If I had the dough...

I reckon I'd be a ripper engine!


and just cause I can:
