Biggest Engine
Just out of interest but whats the biggest engine i can cram into my little mk3 cl squareback 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?
Both the G60 and the 1.8T will require engine mount changes, but should fit. You'll need to use the gearbox that comes with either engine as the Polo gearbox won't fit.
A cheaper alternative which can provide as much power is a 1.8 or 2.0 16v from a Mk2 Golf or a Passat. Again you'll need to change the engine mounts and gearbox, but you can see 150bhp from either easily, and you can pick up a whole donor car for a few hundred quid (especially the Passat).
