What are my options?!

Hi

I've just been thinking, if my gearbox dies on me sometime soon I'd consider an engine conversion. What are the alternatives to the current 1.6. Would a 1.8T work? Any other ideas?

Thanks

1.8ts will go in yes. You'll need about £2k to do a decent job plus skills in welding and engine mount making etc.

Aside from that, are there any other options? Thanks

vr6 will be too tight i'd imagine. I'd only consider the 1.8 really
