Yes to CIS-E (probably the most difficult part of the swap) and no on the fuel
tank. Your 8v tank is fine. I swapped that exact engine into an '81 Rabbit
convertible, and didn't need to do anything to the fuel system.
Okay listers - here is your chance. What would you be looking for in a 16v swap
procedure? I have ideas based on what I went thru, but suggestions on what to
consider would be welcome. Email me privately.
