Mk1 1.8 8v GTI engine to replace a 1.8 carb. 1990 Clipper!
I'm having loads of running issues with my 1.8 carbed Clipper so instead of spending ages trying to replace £5 parts I'm doing this swap instead.
I'm planning on doing the swap within the next fortnight so it's best if I could ask a few questions before I tackle it.
I have a whole GTI that I can pilfer more or less whatever part I need (said GTI is having AGU swap, so a lot of the parts will be redundant)
What parts off the GTI would I need to do the swap? Stuff like the gearbox and rad is obvious but the wiring loom? Fuel pump? fuel pipes?
Thanks in advance for any answers, I like to make sure I know what I need to before I tackle something like this.
Sel.

Engine, all ancillaries
Gearbox will be same if its a late clipper you have, if not use the Gti one, hubs and shafts (hell be going 100mm anyway)
Wiring loom, fuel pump wiring loom/relay.
A away to mount the metering head in the bay (cut his and steal that?)
Few to start with.

As for the metering head, I take it that there won't be any mounts on my car?

you need to replace all of your fuel lines, plus either fit a tintop gti fuel tank or get a post-84 cab/rocco or g40 shape polo lifter pump and under car fuel reservoir. you'll need a post-84accumulator and fuel lines too as its smaller to make room for the reservoir. you'll need a k-jet fuel pump, your mate will want to keep his
edit: oh and keep your old engine wiring loom for your mate, it'll actually make his life a bit easier as it has a wire in d/13 which he needs for his ecu fuel pump trigger wire!
