=>dunno whether you have an 8V or 16V, but either way the ~10% increase in
=>displacement does magically produce more than a 10% increase in torque and
=>power (at least for the 8V), so it's well worth it.
=>If your engine is a 16V then swapping to a 2.0 16V is really
=>pretty painless
=>since, I believe, it's a straight bolt in and you don't have to
=>scrounge any
=>parts.
=>If your engine is an 8V then swapping in a 2.0 will require you to source
=>some new parts for the breather and distributor (and the exhaust
=>downpipe if
=>the new short block is an ABA), but other than that it's bolt in.
=>$300 sounds like a good price to me if it's in good condition.
=>If you haven't done any major mechanical work on your car then it'd be
=>alittle much to bite off as your first project. It took me about
=>a week, but
=>I did a bunch of other stuff like new gaskets and seals in the tranny and
=>clean everything up, so it could be done quicker. It took Patrick longer,
=>but he did everything you could possibly do during his swap!
