Did you ever see the Golf mag article this summer on the mechanical engineer teacher that stripped & lightened a white mk1 and put a 16v lump in? they had some pics from combe - the thing was soooo fast.

why not go down the R32 road………that would make one mean motor
have you seen the prices of r32 engines….?!
probably a bit fat heavy and lazy for a mk1 ?
a properly tuned 1300 on twin carbs will be surprisingly quick…….steve matthews on here has one, and im about to do mine….hehehe….

How much hp/torque does that setup generate out of interest?

no idea to be honest, but the block is lighter anyway ( no idea by how much ) so if you can get 80-90hp out of one ( easy ) then you should have a pretty nippy car….obviously im going to want more than that eventually…..so i'd like to do a turbo…..and still have cheaper road tax… :mrgreen:

Go for a polo 1.4 16v. Be a lot cheaper.

On a 1.1/1.3 mk1 you need to move the o/s engine mount1!! Wheres that welder!!!
I assume a G40 moor would more or less slide in???
MK2 GTi 16v
