I was browsing the tex and this guy offered to SHIP me a complete lower end for a 16V... pistsons, crank, water pump, ps pump, a complete lower end shipped to my house for 250.... wadaya think? should I buy this and use it, or use the parts in it to convert my 2.0L aba? or what?

comments or questions welcome.

Does it need a rebuild?

I think you should go with the 2.0 16v

Actually,
you should scrap the whole idea and put a turbo diesel in there :D

I'm done with the diesel idea until I satisfy my need for speed. I dunno... The 1.8L 's stock redline is a lot higher than the 2.0... I kinda liked the power from the 1.8.... COURRRRRRRRRRRSSSEE.... I could shorten the stroke a bit more and run some extreme boost, then I would have the insane redline AND the extra power of a 2.0L.... I think I am going to stick to my ABA 2.0L idea.

I guess it really comes down to if you want to used forced induction or not.

I was refering to the aba or 1.8 block you were thinking about doing. Turbo diesels? What the heck are those? :lol:

Ok, I'll get on that.... I just have to figure out how to get the tranny and engine apart without busting the tranny
