ABF into mk1 info need please.

Alrite , im new to the forum i hope you dont think that im just after speed and a newbie asking silly questions , i'm a member of few other VW forums , i have just rebuilt my mk2 golf 8v i done a full engine rebuild and uprated pretty much everything at home,


i have always wanted a mk1 and now after doing loads of info about whats best for the ABF engine now i have that and wrote down it was planned to go into my mk2 but its going into a mk1  , i just need to no about fitting it , just a few things im after to start with ,

Could i get power sterring for it as i would be looking at buying a pretty cheap 1.3 mk1 or even 1.1 so nothing fancy ,

i would be making a metal fuel tank to go into the back of the car so that is where i would have the fuel pump to handle the 2.0 16v ,

Would the big 280mm ish G60 brakes be good and would it just be the stock drums on the rear? down to the sub frame and wishbones engine mounts what is there to no about that , i would be fiitting aftermarket suspenion and poly bushing everything  , i have loads more to ask but rather than make this even longer start from going from here,

Any info would be great , a buidl thread would be brill  ! Cheers Joe

Easy swap if you keep a rod change box, uses all the mk1 mountings. You will need to move the drivers side mount if starting with a small block car.No need for a special tank the gti tank and fuel pump will do. power steering no problem ,i have it, its just cash.

Ive just built my abf engine back up today, hitting afew problems with the mounts though. I ordered some from crazy quiffs but i don't think they've sent me the whole mounts. Could someone stick up some pics of all the mounts so i can see what im missing? Cheers
