Agree with Adam, probably a A3 from a Audi as the block height is the same as as a 1800. The 2ltr from the mk3 is a "tall block" and there is clearance issues with the bonnet and the exhaust down pipe will have to be modified to account for the extra height.

YES YES YES!!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

(am quite pleased!!!)

The head is off... I had the right head gasket.. Jus gotta get some new bits and pieces and the beast will be back on the road tomorrow night!!!!

Turns out it was a mk3 8v engine.. Looked at the old gasket..  Was proper F*CKED. Hopefully answers my question as to why it wasn't pulling as nicely as it should.. Was a bit of a state under there!

Am counting down the minutes til tomorrow night!!

ARRRGH!!! SO CHUFFED!
