Read that post above mate ………

The search facilty on the site will help as its been discussed before

Cheers and welcome …..

you need to check the engine number a 3a blocks number starts 3a! think 94 is the change year to the tall block 2e engine number k plate 2.0l's are normally a safe bet to b 3a

you can use a 2e aswell.
 no worries!
 im doing the same thing……………….sweeeeeet! 8)

thanks for the help but only has the engine no log book or chassis plates dont know how to determine from engine alone.   chears deano

The engine number should be stamped on the block itself usually on the front between number 1&2 cylinders .

ive got a tall block in mine and no problems at all. bought kit from tsr (?75) and just swaped everything over even exhaust

Deano if you have any questions mate fire away as that link is my thread.

Should be dropping in the 2.0 after I finish Uni. Hopefully I can get her resprayed and drop the new engine in. I cant wait!

Should be like a new car

Hey we should start a mk1 2.0 8v crew

Kins
MrV
Geezer
De3660
Racer
DeanoS
Jon-Boy

Any body know any more……

We should have a rolling road showdown, track day or drag.

Big up the 2.0 8v massive!  

sounds like an awsome idea kins!

 im hopng mine should be abit of a flyer after the amount of head work thats going in!

rock and roll

John

I'm up for that kins , no substitute for cubic inches !

bring it on 8)  even if mine not the most powerful i bet its the lightest

It's all about the head work Jon :wink:

Nice to hear you're up for it Geezer.

Racer… yours is probably going to be lightest cos im keeping mine standard body and interior.

Guess I'll have to try hard in the engine department… still ongoing. :wink:

 
It's all about the head work Jon   :wink:
 

Aint that the truth!!!

 Im running standard interior too.
 but i may empty my windscreen washer bottle if it gets close!
 Thats right, front and rear!!!!

 John

If its going to be that close I'll empty washer fluid, my glove box, take the fascia off my stereo, remove the tool kit , spare wheel, give her a hoover, wash and polish the outside for aerodynamics, put the thinest grade oil in, I'll go to the toilet and then drive naked! Beat that! 8O      

Whats new big boy!  :wink:

Damn all these pesky 8Vs  :twisted:

Us 8V boys are hardcore…. 16v is cheating…. what you want is a nice BIG 8V for grunt  :mrgreen:


MK1 8v vs MK1 16v Showdown.
N/A only….
Maybe we could do it in Teams of say 5…
Make a good mag feature I recon.

What dya think? :dontknow:

I bet the carb boys would love it! I'm sticking to K-jet for now… then maybe a crossflow big valve head with throttle bodies and mapable ignition for future investment.

I'm sure we could get the numbers. Maybe the likes of PVW would be interested?

its only going to be light because bits keep falling off      as for induction i am looking to convert to motorbike carbs :wink:

SOUNDS GREAT SHOULD HAVE MOTOR RUNNING BY END OF NEXT MONTH GIVE YOU ALL A RUN FOR YOUR MONEY ESPECIALLY YOU 16 VALVERS
