welcome

the mk3 engine and gearbox will fit in the rocco, but it has to be removed from the subframe, and you got to also add the rocco engine mounts to the mk3 engine. There are kits that allow you to use the mk3 cable change gearbox set up if you want, or like many others just change the clutch, and flywheel and use the rocco gearbox with the rocco driveshafts.

What mk3 golf engine is it btw ?
