Title: Engine Swap 8v to 16v
Post by: BKahuna on 30 November 2003, 22:58

Firstly I have both cars and 87 8v and an 87 16v  the 16v is a tad beeten up and the 8v aint mint but its straight.  I want to change the motors over and break the rest of the 16v.

Now the question is it worth it?  I know the 16v is faster and all that,  What I mean is in the work involved....  I can only find info on the web about cylinder head swaps but I gant see the point with out the gear box?? or is that a better way to do it??  

also will the MFA and instrument panel from the 16v fit the 8v loom??

Thanks
