Change 1,6l automatic for 1,6l manual injection (GTI) engine

Hi, I am pretty new to the whole engine conversion thing so I have some questions regarding it….

I currently own a 75 model mk1 with a 1,6l carburator engine and an automatic transmission. I have obtained a 1,6l injection engine but with a manual gearbox and is wondering if there is anything in particular I have to keep in mind if I want to change?

Thanks in advance

and will you also be converting it to fuel injection, or keeping the carb?

I am planning to change to a 4 speed manual and change to fuel injection. The overall plan is to make it as close to an original GTI as possible :lol:

alrighty, lots of work ahead for you then! you'll have to swap in pedal box, cables, linkages, stick etc from 4 speed manual 1.5-1.8 mk1/cab/rocco. then you'll need to change the engien and rear loom for mk1 gti, with same fuseboxas yours

I have all of the right parts for the transmission, it is mostly the fuel injection I am worried about. I need a lot of pieces for it and don't have that much expirience with that system:(
