Hey guys,
This is not as cool as most the projects on here, but on my fancy VW I was able to swap out my extremely oily and broken 1.7 for a way better 2.0. It actually fired up on the first try after I had my grubby untrained hands all over it. I did it for about $300 (engine and some new parts), which was nice after I was told it could not be done for under $1000. I was able to swap a lot of parts over from the 1.7 and all work was done in house. Good thing I didn't pay myself by the hour. I read plenty of your posts on here to help me along the way. Thank you all. Fuel injection parts from the 2.0 will probably be for sale. Keep on truckin'       |

You might need to re-jet the carbs for the larger 2.0 engine, but they should work just fine.

Drove her today for about 45 minutes and everything worked well. Carbs seemed to be working great too. They are nice because they are fairly simple to adjust once I cram my hand into the right position. |
