engine swap cabby gl1.6-gti 1.8

is it an easy job to change all the fuel system and ecu ect from the gti to the gl 1.6? :dontknow:

Which GTI? The Mk1 GTI doesn't have an ECU, if its a later Digifant it will do (but its not a particularly complicated one). The main hassle would be fuelling (supplying high pressure fuel) but also the need to upgrade suspension, brakes, etc is there too.

They say, don't build a car you can buy…..
