Were I to consider an exchange engine, what fits where an AFT fits.
Doesn't have to be a 1.6 neccesarily :-)

Heh.  I wonder if he could just run the LPG kit he's got on 4 of the 
cylinders to save fuel.

Heheh, well done on quoting the standard uk.rec.cars.modifications 
answer.  (c:

Perhaps you are right, but I have it on good authority that Bob is the 
original ebay bargain engine hunter, is on his way to being a giffer so 
won't have too much bother with insurance, is reasonably spanner 
competent and has access to some engineering aquaintances to whom an 
engine swap is something that happens in an afternoon.

Practically any VW engine upto and including an R36 from a Passat will fit.

I happen to have heard similar things.  I think Bob should find the biggest 
engine he can :-)  Or at least the 150bhp 2.0 16v from the Golf Mk3 GTi...?

And if not, settle on a 6.0 W12?  Do you think it would upset the balance?

I'm talking the bare engine here.
I would want to use my existing management and inlet / exhaust manifolds.
Is there a larger 4 cylinder crossflow head engine that fits where an AFt 
used to live ?

Fueling isn't a problem, I can map more gas in.

LPG conversion sounds good, no doubt the gov will soon tax the danglies off 
that aswell soon.

That I would definitely want to do.
A sensible increase in torque would be all I wanted really.
A 2.0 8 valve engine would be great if that were possible.

I've been hearing that for about 10 years now.  I might even have said

Probably not, I did say upto the R36.

I was assuming by an exchange engine it had to go in place of the old one.

MK3.5

So, it looks like a MKIV from the front, but is actually a MK3 under the 
skin.
It's a girly ragtop, but the important oily bits are MK3.

Apologies, I was hoping that meant date wise, and I thought that engine was 
newer :-)

R36 it is then I guess?  Still, that is 300bhp, it'd probably do...  If it 
used his current 4 cyl LPG system, and when that was on, turned the other 2 
un-lpg'd cylindars off, that would be quite a neat trick hehe.  300bhp 3.6 
V6, and like, 8p a mile to fuel or something :-)

Opinion has it that a 2.0 ABF goes in without too much trouble.

Pretty much anything will go in if you're prepared to change more stuff.

Reccomendation was a VR6 24V with a MK3 box, but that sounds like more 
work than you had planned.

Not an expert myself, so I asked some chaps that would know:

ABF would be the obvious simple swap (2.0 16V GTI lump)

The 2.0 8V of that era is a bit shit. 112 horses, which is the same as the 
original 1.8 8V GTI engine of 20 odd years ago.

You're right of course.
The attraction of this engine is that it would bolt straight in with no 
electrical or plumbing issues to resolve.
It has either 112 or 115bhp depending on where you look. 123 lb/ft of torque 
too.
Whilst not wonderful, they are both improvements on my current 1.6 which is 
100 for both figures.
I suspect the area under the torque curve will be far better than my current 
1.6 as well, which is where driveability is.

We'll see. If one comes up at the righ money, I think I'll have it.

I bet a 16V KR from a MK2 would fit straight in too. Same block as the ABF 
more or less. 139 horses...

Wiring ?
Plumbing ?

Um. ABFs do go into MK2s without a lot of plumbing so I can't see why the KR 
wouldn't go into the MK3. The block has essentially stayed the same for 
donkeys years.

Anyway, I've got a KR that I want rid of so it's obviously the best solution 
:D.

My gas system depends on signals from the exisiting 'electronic' fuel 
injection.
Whatever the solution, it would definitely involve retaining that.

What bits are with the KR ?

Not for the golf, but it strikes me that one of them onto a Passat / 80 / A4 
transaxle would be great in a mid engined car.
Like the one I have the plans here for. :-)

Well you're fucked there then. K-jet is basically a glorifed toilet cistern.

The rest of the Golf, or any permutation of bits and engine. TBH I'd only be 
happy selling the engine and injection system as individual items rather 
than as a system - we could never get it to run after the immobiliser was 
ripped out by scallies.

Ah.
