does anyone no if a g40 engine has been put in a mk4 polo before? what is involved? is it worth doing or a waste of time?

yes - i have one. It involves cutting the front chassis leg and welding a peice in to take the g40 mount.

I'm selling my shell if you are interested.

got any pics?

of the shell or the drivers engine mount?

both

Didn't know you had a mk4 G smiler too Pete.

Only thought you had the red mk3?

Very nice mate.

What's it like compared to the mk3?

Edited 20 December, 200817 yr by vwmk3jon

corners and brakes better. but i love mk3s!

like pete says definatly corners an brakes better but i think they feel alot stronger and that little extra weight makes them smoother and nicer to drive although you sacrafice a bit of acceleration over a similarly tuned mk3.I've never like mk3s there so sloppy but had 5 g40s as i loved the engine so this was the perfect compromise for me

i'd love to G40 the other halfs 6n as its only a 999cc and shes already craving the extra power! Maybe when I've researched into it some more.

i'll be getting rid of the shell very soon... if anyone is interested
