900-1400ccm engines are all based on same crank case so you won't have any problems fitting it

you can use your previous gearbox & all towards front wheels

depending on what engine you had before, I belive you could even use previous exhaust and inlet manifold, perhaps carb....

engine will just slot into the bay

your only probs you can/will have are fuelin forthe GT as they have electric pumps and injection, plus wiring

its all how far you want to go moddin wise

are you talking about gt engine from mk2? because mk1's gt (engine code HH) is carburatour engine (I have a mk1 GT)

i know you can get a mk1 GT but rare as fook!!!
i was talking about mk3 as more common.
