900-1400ccm engines are all based on same crank case so you won't have any problems fitting it

you can use your previous gearbox & all towards front wheels

depending on what engine you had before, I belive you could even use previous exhaust and inlet manifold, perhaps carb....

Why do you drive mk1s?

I see awfully a lot of mk1s on this forum (most from UK, I suppose) and I can't stop being amazed with it...

I must honestly say I also don't like it. Although I myself thought about painting mine in black, I now see that it's too small car for black, specially matt, and it looks kinda weird.

Anyhow, respect for your work and I understand completly the following: I like it anyway, I bought a mk1 cos i ...

hy mate, haven't heard for a long time
nice to see progress on your polo, you're doing it well! love your battery tray, I'm thinking about something similar on mine, but perhaps more forward, under the rear bench, where the reservoir used to be (plan to put battery on one side, and smaller reservoir ...
