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

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

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.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

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

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.

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.
