ABF head on a Kr block ?

[Wild-Animal 0]

Could do with a little help could i put the ABF head on a the KR block as there is one not far from me i could get a hold that has highlift cams and has been ported and polished? Or would it just be worth my while sourcing an ABF block as well? :D

 

Thanks, Calum

From what I've read the abf head is a little differnt to the kr head, Difference in compression from what I remember, there's alot of information about all the head differnces and mixing them up on clubgti forum, it's vest to go by part numbers on the heads because vw mix n matched them

alot over the years, personally I would Find an abf block and go 2.0l, you will possibly have to shave the engine mount rubber down alittle cos it's a taller block, my freind ran a stock abf block head n cams on k-jet with all the kr ancillarys and it runs real good, hell of a lot faster than our stock krs were,
