Title: mk3 vr6 engine swop
Post by: chef662 on 08 August 2006, 18:27

I have a tidy mk3 vr that the engine has finally given up the ghost !My question is does anybody know if the 2.9 engine out of a corrado will fit and if so how difficult is the swap as i ve been offered one cheap and low miles ! also does the interior from a corrado go into the mk3 without too many headaches ? :evil:

no unfortunatly not!  The rado seats fit straight into a MK2 though.
