Theres a few subtle differences that make it impossible. The throttlebody is very different on the GT compared to the NZ, and the coil has about 7 pins IIRC instead of 3.
AS for the differences between the AAV and NZ, the compression ratio is the same but the pistons are different part numbers (odd seeing as the AAV and mk2 1.3 carb engines have the same piston part numbers) The cams are slightly different, IIRC the NZ cam is even more crappy than the 1.3 SPI one.

yeah I think someone posted a data-sheet up of the cams of a a few cars. I tried searching for it but it seems to have disappeared.
Cheers for all the help dudes, dropped it in smoothly earlier, its never gone that well for me in the past so i was expecting something to go wring,but it fired up first time just after it got dark( minus an exhaust so it was extremly loud)!! ill get a video of it running tommorow. whens the next RR day?
wouldnt mind getting it on a r/r before then but im sure i cant wait. i finished fitting everything to it today, im almost ready to test it on the road but the only thing is, I have Reverse, third, fourth and fifth! ive adjusted and adjusted and cant get it into first.. any ideas on this?
ok thanks dude. do u have a polo haynes in pdf? i did have it but i lost everything due to a format last month. its a coupe s gearbox on the nz running gear so i hope it takes. i tried the clutch out by using reverse then third to move a few feet in each direction so i know thats gonna be ok(relief!).
oh it is dan im not messing about as i was off the road for ages when i did the SPI conversion, plus im getting damn good at it. many pics to follow tonight!
