1.05 HZ Camshaft change + 1.3 Exhaust Manifold?

Featured Replies

Hi 

I am thinking of changing the cam on my mk2 with a standard 1.05L HZ Engine. 

I know a GT cam would be the obvious choice but the chance of finding one and being able to afford it is remote.

 

So I was wondering if a Camshaft out of a different engine would fit straight in and still give a power increase?

Doesn't matter about the mechanical fuel pump side of things because the car has an electric pump fitted. 

 

And another question...

My mate has given me an exhaust manifold and headers off a 1.3 mk2f, which has the twin down pipes (4-2-1) instead of the single (4-1) pipe on the 1.0. 

Firstly will this fit on my polo without fouling on the Anit-Roll Bar? and secondly will it give any power increase?

Thought id better ask before I start cutting and welding exhaust pipes worthlessly. :P
