Title: Can you fit a FIAT 2000 TC Engine & Box into a MK4 Golf?

Yes, but they have to go in the boot  :D

Nice eBay find this one "drove the car every day until it failed the MOT - it was going in a custom car"

My kids from college fitted an Alfa twin spark onto a ford gearbox in line into a Mk golf, driving a Sierra IRS rear end.

This was there end of course project.    Lowered, BTCC wheels and tires alround, arches.

That sounds like a great end of year project - I don't remember my college being that much fun  ;)

It was spread over a few terms class's   or when the kids had finished the days work, I would get the GOLF RACER PROJECT in.   By using this they began to understand how and why things were designed like they were, because they had to make the systems themselves, it worked very well, but go up the nose of the senior lecturer when every one wanted to join my class at every drop of a hate.   Guess who was made redundant first,   ;D

  Never mind  :-\   teaching somewhere different now, nothing changes so one of my class's has been cut.  How to make friends........
