engine swap, mk2 to mk1

[83mars]

im hoping to be attempting this in the next few days,
just wondering if a mk2 golf engine will fit relatively easy into a mk1 scirocco.
from pics ive seen of the mk1 engines im presuming its just a case of swapping mounts, am i wrong??
cheers for any advice.

swap the mounts, what engine are we talking about though? depends on gearbox too whether its rod or cable change.

mk2 golf 1.6 diesel,
rod and cable box.
the car itself is a heap, so its a patch an go type of job...
cheers

hmm do they have a rear engine mount or do they mount on the gearbox at the back?

[83mars]

if your talking about the golf, i make em out like this:
front middle, rear left(just behind the belts)and rear right(end of the gearbox to the back)
had a quick look monday and looks like ill have a bit of work with the gearbox mount, hoping a mount from a mk2 will do for the t-belt to chassis leg.
mite get a chance to see properly tomorow
