Posting to :sperg: and say the Mk2 Scirocco was actually a Mk1 chassis, just the 2nd generation of the scirocco. My ex gf bought a Mk1 with a blown headgasket off a friend of mine and I tore the head off it but never got around to putting it back together. Never forgave myself for that one, it was a clean car.

Good luck with the engine swap! Gonna go 2l? I had one for my 83 gti, but never got around to putting it in. Then I got an 88 16v scirocco which was an absolute riot. I miss both of those cars.

Ah, but that's the rub.

It's a 3a 8v block. But it has 16v pistons, block off plate where an 8v dizzy goes, and an intermediate shaft driven oil pump. So it's essentially a 9A with Audi markings, at this point.

If you need a spare 16v dizzy, I still have one sitting in my garage. Had it for going on 10 years now, still waiting for the swap to happen :smith:
