HI there everyone,
First of all I would like to thank everyone for their responses in my other thread - but here I have another question that I may or may not get flamed for.
First of all I have only dealt with mk1's pre 1980
I have been told that an aftermarket 2.0l block bolts straight onto the gti mk2 92 head. (1.8l)
Now is the the block 1.8l in the gti the same as the 16v 1.8l say in the 1.8t.(or other 16v for that matter)
If so my thinking is that a 1.8 16v head should go onto a 2.0; block like in the GL 97 that I am getting or is there somewhere I can source a 2.0 16v head + intake/exhaust manifold etc and would it fit????
I have seen a conversion kit for fiting the 16v head (2.0) but is expensive. So I know that a 16v head can be fitted just that it is unclear if this is indeed a 2.0l head???(ie specific for 2 litres or just changed to suit ie longer duration for bigger stroke etc)
Thanks and regards,
