A friend has a cabby that needs a new engine, its a 1.8 kjet b reg and he has found a good 1.8 from a scirocco but its on a carb atm (looks identical to the setup found on the mk2 drivers to me)
will there be any issues swapping all the injection stuff onto it? I can't think of any but thought I would double check!
The rocco will most likely have a EX engine and the golf will have a DX. I believe the bottom ends are the same but there are slight differences in the heads. I'm not 100% sure on the following but this is what I can remember from a similar situation many, many years ago.
I'm not confident that the carb manifold will mate up nicely to the DX head.
There are injector Holes on the DX head
The cams are different
The exhaust valves are larger on the DX Engine (2mm??)
