2.0 Engine FAQ's

[indiana_red@hotmail.com (Ken Bates)]

I hope this thread isn't quite dead yet. I have been following it and I
didn't see anyone mention the other 2.0 block, the 3A.  Maybe because it was
a Audi motor.  The volkswagen.org engine swap page has some nice comparisons
between the ABA and the 3A for VW A1 upgrades.  I was hoping for a 3-way
comparison.
I am keeping this in the back of my mind for the distant future, probly a
CIS-E 1.8 16v head on just the 2.0 bottom end.  It would be nice to pole the
2.0 converters out there for what they used and what they would do
different.  Craig, Shannon, come to mind.
