Just out of interest but whats the biggest engine i can cram into my little mk3 without hacking bits of the chassis away? g40 is obvious, what bout g60 or even vr6 can they be shoehorned in? or a 20v 1.8?

20vt engine in the rear of a mk3 polo was a beast, also rear wheel drive, saw a vid of it in action once, and it was a rite handful!!

Anything other than a small block engine will involve lots of work and some cutting, so forget 8 or 16v Golf GTi engines and certainly the VR6.

G40 will offer you the easiest power, but with a lot of wiring fuss the small block 1.4 and 1.6 16v engines from the later Polos and Lupo can be made to work.

Biggest engine in a Mk3 without cutting is a 1.6 16v then...
