hi dont know much about mk1's but my mate has just picked up a 2L 8v AGG engine out of a mk3 and hes wondering if it would go in his mk1 clipper with little fiddling like you get with other engine conversions
-
It will go in by changing the engine mounts over as the mk1 has a bit of a different mounting set up. There will also be a quite extensive rewiring to get it running. You could always use the 2.0 bottom end with the mk1's cylinder head (assuming its a 1.8) which would save hassle as the mk3 injection system is completely different. Should be loads of info on the forum if you do a search mate.

personally i wouldnt bother with a 2l 8v, i would go 16v or g60 or 1.8t, if you are going to do a conversion make it one worth doing :wink:

haha i already have i have a vr6 in my car but he got a 2liter 8v and hes only 17, he thinks its plenty big enough for now haha

^^This, go for a 16v will be a lot better in the long run.
