can i put this engine in...

[converge]

ive got a 91 8v and a audi 90 scrapper with a 2.3 ... is it worth doing and does anyone know what it entails...

Don't think it would be a straight swap by any means mate, and i don't think i've ever heard of it being done before. Sure it is possible if you're willing to work at it though!

[Agreeable Slick]

short answer if i remember correctly would be no.

mainly because the engine is transversely mounted in the audi. and i think the belts and pulleys are on the other side of the engine.

[Diamond Hell]

the engine is transversely mounted in the audi

Surely longitudinally mounted?

It's a very different set up.

Thats the puppy aye, i should know really seeing as i own one.

To fit one, you would really need to hi-breed the car and make it into a rear wheel drive, but you would need a rear axle set up from a Rallye or a synchro. It would be a huge undertaking as undoubtadley, alot of cutting and shutting would also need to be done. BUT, you would have some serious fun in a rear wheel drive Golf II, with loads of torque. The 2.2 is actually a little more powerfull than the 2.3.

anythin is possible

 Ive seen a mk2 GTI running a TVR v8 - Not the Orange MK1
