If the afh lump can go in a mk2 without much problems I can't see why it wouldn't be that hard to go the other way.

You just have to ask why, surely the afh lump would be best if you want power?

Yeah thats true, didnt really see it that way, and why ? Well because its a 1.0 atm and i may have a cheap gt breaking so ill just take everything off that.

Not a particularly hard conversion, you'll have to get the exhaust to fit and splice some wiring, issue with coolant hoses being too short and you'll need to convert to the wider aux pulley.

It made the GT nippy but only because that car was so light. The 6n is heavier and the 75bhp engine will have more work to do.

Makes far more sense to use the 75bhp engine fitted to the 6n instead, it's an easier swap and even easier if you sell your car and simply buy a 1.6 version..

Yeah well i was thinking going upt that way but it just cane along, so i was just gonna see if it would be easy, i might just take the 1.6 root that might be the best idea then, cheers anyway.
