mark 1 driver conversion

hello everyone this is my first post so i hope you bear with me. i'm currentlythinkingofconvrting my mark 1 1.3 driver to a mark 2 1.6 engine.does anyone know if this is possible? if you're wondering why go for the 1.6 driver engine……………..it's going cheap cos my mates converting his to 16v gtiengine and gearbox.
any comments greatfuly received

* Insurance
* Welding
* Lots of other components to swap over too

Means it won't end up cheap. But good luck all the same!

i think if your gonna do that amount of work just for a 1.6 you'll be dissapointed you didn't do a 16v conversion (or 1.8t/vr6). have you thought of popping a 5 speed box on your current engine to make it nicer at motorway speeds and waiting till you can afford to do a bigger engine conversion?

i say this because i own a driver also and after weighing up all the options i'm just stickin with the original engine till i can afford to do the job properly.

hope this helps dude.
