Can you use a 2.9 in a Mk3 odb2???

Hi Guys,

Quick question for you, (I've had a search but can't find what i'm looking for)

I'm getting a 1996 Mk3 Golf so guessing it'll be a 2.8 obd2 with the code 'AAA'. would that be right? (Not got the car home yet)

Unfortunatley the engine is gone, now i think it may just be the bottom end so....

1) Are all bottom ends the same between the different cars which have the vr6 engine? basically can i use any bottom end?

&

2) I may be able to source a corrado 2.9 engine, obviously this is odb1 so the question is can i convert this to odb2 as i have all the additional parts?

Sorry for this with it being my first post. Will be putting a newbie post up too once I get the car home,

Thanks in advance,

Carl

The basic engines are essentially the same, the2.9s have a slightly larger bore, but yes it will run on obd2 stuff, you will need to swap the actual engine harness and inlet manifold and throttle body from the obd2 engine onto the 2.9 engine
