does anyone have an RD swap?

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

It's going into a mk1 rocc. I don't think it's digifont but not positive. It's a complete engine minus wiring and though the mk1 has a/c, I'm not sure if it still will after the swap. Good to know though, thanks for the info.

An RD motor is the same as the JH except with the hydraulic head. Should be
pretty simple swap! I am doing a similar swap now into a 79 Rabbit with a
blown 1.6L. The only thing that I have found is different so far is the
injector cups if it is digifant. They need to be swapped. Plus it depends
on what your installing it in. The 1.6L from this Rabbit has a bunch of
different mounts and such since it had A/C so a lot of that needs to be
swapped and being able to use the older alternator (to cut down on cost) is
something to consider as well since the belt will be different and maybe the
pulleys. HTH!

> With all this talk about 2L with 1.8 heads and 16v vs 8v I was curious if
anyone on the list has swapped a 1.8 8v RD motor into their car. This is my
slow moving summer project (I live near Eric S., what do you expect?)
although if I had my way it'd be done yesterday. Can't my employers
understand I need a week or so off (paid of course) so I can work on my
cars? If anyone has done this swap, send me an email and tell me about it to
whet my appetite.
