2.0l block

[MK1Scirocco16v at comcast.net (Dave Ewing)]

The 1.8L head by itself does not add an extra 10hp.  Hope you didn't invest
a bunch of money in that old head and throw your 2.0L head away that
actually had more potential.

A short block is the lower section only with out the head. I paid $650 US
for a rebuilt block and spent almost $550 on the head to prep the engine. Do
I think it was worth the trouble? Well, I no longer hold the title for the
"Rocc with the least HP".  :)

A new 9A block is about 135 hp + 10 hp for the 1.8 head. Sooo about 145 HP
instead of 50? Scotch guard is wonderful!

The 9A block will fit in a MKI for sure.
IIRC the ABA (8V) is a bit taller (physically) if that is what you mean.
