8v stroker question

[Cory_Langford at bcit.ca (Cory Langford)]

The TDI crank can go into a 1.8 block if you clearance the block, the crank
and the oil pump shaft.  I used to have pictures of how I clearanced the
1.8 quite a while ago.  If you need them, let me know and I will see what I
can dig up.
