I tried looking, but couldn't find (using the search function) anyone else that would ask such an odd question.

Don't ask my why, but, how hard is it to transplant a B6 into an NA8?

Appreciate any help.

Probably not that hard. but not legal if the B6 engine is older than the NA8

Actually, I remember you telling me that now (but I had forgotten ). I dare say that it will be older. is there any way around that?

I'm sure there's a way to do it legally, it's the same chassis and the B6 usually has less power.

You could use a nb6 engine, except they are a bit more expensive...

well we have a wealth of knowledge here on this forum.

how do they know with the engine No what year it is?

but getting around that rule.....I have absolutely no clue.

If the engine can pass the relevant emissions test then you could register it.

The idea of a later model engine is that you can be sure it has as good, or better emissions tests.

Thanks for the info lads, I think I'll stick to an NA6 chassis. It saves the hassle.

Thanks again.

He already has the engine; he doesn't have a car to put it in yet.

I that like the chicken and the egg, or the cart before the horse?

Engine was too good to pass up....

...so were the seats, tyres, braces and number plate frames. But, I reckon I've shown restraint by not buying the Sportmax's and the KG dash.
