Mark3 2lt Engine conversion into Mark 1 golf cab
Am thinkg of doing some sort of engine conversion, from my very tired 1800 carb engine. Have been toying with the idea of a mark 3 2.0ltr engine and was wandering if any1 new how easy this conversion was and if i could use my same gearbox running gear etc. I also read somewhere that i could just get the bottam end of a mark 3 then just use a mk2 head is this correct. Any help with this would be appreciated and also any help with sourcing one would be apreciated aswell
Thanks Kenno

is this as easy conversion as it sounds, no hidden probelms or out, but i guess there wont be as i will am only really changing my bottom end. i am not to clued up on engines so will the mk3 bottam end just bolt on my head (same shape etc as my mk1) also engine mounts all ok, or is it mounted on the head
thanks for your help in advance
thanks mark

the stuff you need is:
your 8v head
2ltr bottom end
your dizzy and adaptor plate from tsr
plate to cover oil breather on the 2ltr also from tsr
either g/b
clutch to match g/b
im not sure about the exhaust manifold though because the 2ltr is 15-20mm higher than the 1.8
and I think the driveshafts are the same on the 020 g/b's so should be ok there
hope this helps mate
