longitidunal engine conversion

i read that the best starting point is a transvers engine for a mk1 conversion. But the place where i live is so hard finding a transverse engine. I want to learn which different parts needed for a longitudinal engine than transverse engine ? And which box can be used ? Thanks for reply.

Whats the Idea mate? rear wheel drive,four wheel drive,whats the plans.

" Engine
There 2 different options for engines in this Guide we will be using the engine for a transverse car  to make the conversion as simple as possible .the other option is the longitudal engine but this requires alot of parts to be swapped over so not a good starting point. So engine of choice is an AGU these are found in Audi A3's & Mk4 Golf and possibly other VAG variants "
i want to put 1.8t engine in mk1 gti. But i cant find agu engine. The writing upper is this forum conversion guide. ".the other option is the longitudal engine but this requires alot of parts to be swapped over so not a good starting point"   i want learn what is this parts .i hope i can explain.

anybody know ?

the trouble is the parts you need come from a  transverse 20v engine anyway! mainly its the sump, inlet and possibly oil filter housing

They need a hell of a lot of space forwards of the front wheels mate, I'm not sure there's enough space in a mk1    

I dont think he means he wants to fit it longitudally ??

Ah I see

in fact i want to put longitudinal engine (apu or aeb or awt codes engines)  in mk1 because i couldn't find transverse engine.

what is sump ? is it oil house ?  longitudinal engine oil house doesnt fit ? i think i can solve inlet manifolt.

Yes sump means oil house, it is possible to fit AEB and other longitudal engines transversely, i believe the standard bigblock engine mount fits and these engines will connect to the big block mk1 golf gear box,s using the appropriate clutch assy.

Thanks abfmk1. is there a sample longitudinal  1.8t conversion ?

There was someone on here putting an AEB into a mk1 if i remember correctly, his name was shaunyc or something similiar, not sure if hes still on here or if his project page is still here, might be worth a search.

Bought something off Shauny a few months ago. I think he's still around.

Too true.. thats why i've not been on alot and the fact i've not done alot to the golf in a while…
