1.5 has big block mountings so abf will drop right in, unbolt 1.5 engine brackets and bolt to the abf. just need to trim timing belt covers a bit, are you goinf to use the 1.5 or other mk1/2 gearbox?

No real plans yet, just looking at it as a slightly easier conversion if I decide to change the engine.

Because the answer to this then moves the transplant on to all the stuff that's required for fueling.

Yes in a way, bike or webber carbs would be ace however but will be juicy.

as i say this isnt a definate plan although if i do decide to change the engine it will be to a 2.0 16v, would like to run it on itb's if i did. remeber this car is only a weekend toy so things like mpg/practicality just dont matter :smiley:
