3a/Crossflow into Mk1

[d_x20 at hotmail.com (Bryan Rankin)]

Hey hey,

   Been a while since i've talked about my peice of crap engine.  I brought 
it down to Edmonton this week to a machinist with a huge shop in his 
backyard, it was pretty nice.  My choice for the bottom end is bored out 
probably to 83.5 or 84mm with a TDi crank.  The crank is gonna be lightened 
and balanced if the one I brought him is good.  But now i'm thinking about 
heads.  I was planning all along to use a JH head.  But the other day on the 
mk1 forum on the vortex, i seen a crossflow write up, the wiring didn't seem 
overly hard, i'm going to have the dash and motor out anyway, so it 
shouldn't be THAT hard.  The crossflow seems to make more sense, having the 
intake manifold over the exhaust manifold is kind of counterproductive in my 
opinion.

I've done some reading on the vortex about the difference between obd1 and 2 
heads.  Obd is supposed to hit the hood, but this was on a golf.

If I get a obd1 head, will it sit under my bonnet without hitting it?

Thanks
