thanks for help guys, given me alot to look into,

cleaned and painted the 2ltr block today so if it doesnot go in its getting sold

thanks again :)

i currently have a 1.8 16v engine running in rado, i also have a spare 2ltr 8v engine from a golf mk3.

Would it be possible for me to put the 16v head onto the 8v block?

would there be much point in me doing this and how would it effect the compression with the different shaped pistons.

thanks

needs alot of work doing to finish but own a bodyshop so all good :)

plans are to paint it white and trophy blue

Whoever owned it before me tried to smooth the roof without welding plates in and just banged alod of filler in them :( so got out the grinder and chisel and went to work
