oops - I forgot to mention something. IIRC, the 1.7 can't be bored out to
2.0L. The JH I'm pretty sure can be. But as I said before, machine work
leads to $$$.

I'm considering doing a 2.0 coversion in my 81 mk1. TT has a ton of
conversion parts that they sell, but are they really necessary? I don't know
what block I'd use, probably whichever is easier to find/cheaper. I want to
put an 8v head on it, would a JH be okay? Basically, I need to know all the
expenses and stuff involved. Can I use the accessories on the 1.7L I have in
the car now? My other option is a slightly worked 1.8 JH. By slightly worked
I mean bigger cam, possibly HD springs, lightened flywheel, bigger TB, and I
dunno what else. I have a max budget of $1000. I already have suspension and
handling lined up, so that wouldn't be budgeted in, but an exhaust would
have to be. Tell me where to go and what to do, oh modding masters!
