Will bolt right in. Will need all the stuff from the IV. Recommend not trying it yourself. Will most likely have wiring issues. Just be careful!!!!

If you already have a VR6 in it, why not just leave it?

It should go right together no matter what came out of it. The only problems will be in the wiring. You may have to work at getting the wiring to go where you need it.

Everything will bolt up to the engine. You have to use the clutch, flywheel and pressure plate together. You can not use one of the new parts and one of the old parts. They are different. Either use the new or the old.

You get them from a junk yard or dismantler (Like RPI). They do a lot of conversions. Try to look up "Volkswagen Engine Swap" in your search engine. They do it a lot in Canada and England.

RPI is located at rpiequipped.com. They have used 1.8 20v's for like $3,500 or a VR6 for $2,500. They come with ignition, exhaust, injection, etc. Also try putting "Volkswagen Engine Conversion" in your search. It will come up with lots of different places that do swaps.
