my car is a 92 plate mk3 polo , as far as i was aware a gt and g40 swap was straight forward, as long as they are mk3s ?? iff now what would b the easiest swap ?

Nope.

Engine drops straight in. Wiring on the other hand needs to be change.

Best bet is a straight 1.3 CL one. that will drop straight in and plug up just swap the ECU's.

aernt they still a 4 speed box ? would like a little more speed too

surely its all plug and play? i.e. to convert a 92 1.0 polo to a gt you need everything from under the bonnet, including the loom which plugs in at the fuse box? (and the fuel pump)

In which case anything mk3 will fit?

dart strife, you do realise what the price difference between a gt conversion and a g40 conversion would be? They're on completely different levels.

As for gearboxes, 1.3's mainly had 5 speed boxes, but you can swap gearboxes around, so a 1l can be 4 or 5 speed, so can the 1.3 etc.

yes i realise the price differences are alot, and when i say like realitively easy for i swap i dont mean how hard it is for putting fings here and there, i mean by chopping an welding, dont want to b doin that really. my cars cost me alot of doller so far , this is the last stage. it was a bot of a dog when i got it

yes, thats y i could do wiv the full car, eg a write off ect , i mean i dont want to be cutting an welding ect

so to confirm, is it a mk2 or mk3?

Even if it is a mk2, you won't need to be cutting and welding unless you go for a g40, (space for the intercooler etc)

For instance a gt conversion won't need any, however will need lots of wiring sorting out.
