will there be any issues with this engine swap

[Sam]

cheers for the offer lemski, but I should be able to find one closer to home. Will probably get a mk2 lump for it

Would be easier with a rocco possibly as they are based on a mk1 rather than mk2, pretty sure the entire front end is mk1 

Yeah the only major difference with mk2 engines is that the Intake manifold/plenum is the wrong way round forcing the metering head to be on the O/S instead of the N/S as on the MK1.

Yer cos they have the fuel filter right next to the battery

Meh, nowt wrong with that!     That's exactly the area that got crushed on my car, battery was smashed and leaked, metering head moved but there was no fire!

Now that would have been an extreme project thread

It may as well of caught fire there, extreme measures had to be taken anyway.

That is something that has always shocked me, has to be the most unsafe place for it.

Never heard of it actually being an issue though, as said, never caused me any real bother.
