I am just curious as to what all would be required for a 1.8 8v gas engine swap to a TD swap. What would be the best engine size? I don't need a proceedure yet, just what all would be required. This is for when I blow up my 1.8l, I just want to be prepared.
It's a 1985 Jetta.
Thanks
If anyone knows any good sites, those would be handy as well

EDIT a quick reply as to if this is possible and how long this will take will help me decide what I am doing with my car (selling or keeping)
Thanks

If someone wants to trade me engines, or buy mine let me know. 227K KMs on it.

the 1.6 should fit right in. but you gotta run all new fuel lines and electronics and what not. but the engine should fit.

Yeah I figured that, I was thinking that I would need a new tranny, exhaust, gas tank, lines, fuel pump.
I just want to know so when I do get the parts, I get everything.
