Hi,
I'm about to finally drop my 1.6 8v lump into my little 1.2 8v, 4 speed mk2. The new engine is going to running twin 40 webbers.
I think i just about have all the parts to convert it but dont want to get half way through and need something else.
I have a 5 speed box going in it, will the 4 speed selector be ok?
I have got a faccet red seal fuel pump, will this be ok running with an spi (standard) tank?
Will all the standard water hoses and rad be ok and fit the 1.6 lump?
I did buy some Gsi hubs and shafts, but heard the standard ones will fit. Is this true?
I have also got the 1.4 sr dizzy and coil.
Can anyone think of anything else i might be missing? I'm currently looking for and exhaust and fuel pressure reg.
The last thing is what have people done with the fuel vapour trap that sits in the passenger front wheel arch? as i have snapped the hose connectors on mine. Are these by-passable when converting? if so how? or do i need to get a new one?
Cheers in advance.
