I'm working on it!!! <G>  Boy, looks like I REALLY need to get this tech
procedure done!

Yes to CIS-E (probably the most difficult part of the swap) and no on the fuel
tank.  Your 8v tank is fine.  I swapped that exact engine into an '81 Rabbit
convertible, and didn't need to do anything to the fuel system.

Okay listers - here is your chance. What would you be looking for in a 16v swap
procedure?  I have ideas based on what I went thru, but suggestions on what to
consider would be welcome.  Email me privately.
