I’m not sure of exact measurements but the vr6 is a pretty tall engine. It barely clears the hood and the oil pan is about 3 inches from the ground at the current ride height
I’m planning on making a video covering the pros and cons of the most popular swaps for the mk1s as well as the expected cost. I have other videos on my channel going over disassembling and rebuilding the VR6 for this car. S&P automotive is my go to company for mk1 swap parts. I would recommend having a swap harness made by them or TDC shop to simply the electrical system and save a lot of time
just leave it bone stock, because swapping it with a much heavier VR6 engine will greatly affect the handling and become ( Top Heavy ) it's great going a straight line but in cornering won't be be so awesome.
Mk4 cabrio? If so it’s technically still a mk3 platform. I daily drive one currently. If you are referring to the vr5 engine I am unsure since we never got them in the US but I’m sure someone has attempted it at some point
Atmospheric Drum and Bass and mk1's have always gone so well together. Love it!
@@DeanAndryeyev lol I’m so glad someone else gets the vibe
good job! subbed
Great looking engine!!! How tall is it (pan bottom to oil cap top)? I have a vintage Volvo that's looking for a new motor.
