Good day.
I have started building a project. Mk 2 Golf Gti Big Bumper 1990. Originally it was a 1800 8v.
Engine out and imported a VR6 2.8 24valve (BDE) and got a 5 speed gearbox with.
Busy cleaning it up but need assistance in wiring (looms) and piping.
Even which engine mountings can i get from what vehicle or will i have to make my own?
Any other help will also be much appreciated.
Regards,
Marius

Thanks Kirshen and Donavan.
I have another question though. i am still in the restoration period of the engine. As mentioned before it is a import engine and not yet in the car.
Can anyone advise me how to get the crankshaft pulley off please? I am starting to doubt and now wonder to loosen it is it left or right turn?
I just need to loosen it so i can treat the surface rust on the block.
Please advise.

Remove the sump, insert something to keep the crank from rotating and use a torque bar with a long pipe as leverageminehunter1979 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 4:38 am Thanks Kirshen and Donavan.
