Hi all,
I've recently purchased my first Mk1 after owning a Mk4 for 2 years now as well. Its a 1979 GLS. I'm 18 and have minimal car knowledge but i'm pretty good with my hands if I've got some guidance. My Mk1 currently doesn't run and the engine was robbed for parts at some point in its life and sadly its ceased
. I'm looking to do an engine swap of some kind but i'm not sure what with. I've heard a lot of newer engines (mk3/mk4) engines are straight bolt ins but i'm having trouble understanding how the ecu side of things work in an older car with no computer. Do i need to get the ecu for the motor with it and also a loom or can i keep the current loom and use that (this may be a very dumb question :/) I'd like to keep the 4 speed box i've got if possible and just get a new engine. All i'm really asking is whats a decent power engine that's easily sourced in Victoria and will be the easiest to install! I've got a lot of friends who are good with cars and we will have no problems doing all the work ourselves (as i learn along the way, basically what the car was purchased for). Thanks for the help
