==================
I don't think you can swap the "internals" from head
to head.

A non GTI Golf (US) has the GX code motor (85 hp). You
can swap a solid lifter head onto it and bring it up
to JH specs pretty much.

The GX head has 38/33 valves while the JH head has
40/33 - better breathing.

Unlike the 2 liter hydraulic motors, there is no need
to swap out the oil pump.
