OK - I'm wanting to do an engine swap on my '89. I definitely want to use a VW power plant. So please do not throw in the Subbie thoughts. I am very impressed with what the WRX motors can do but I have access to a lot of VW parts and they are much more familiar to me and my dad who will be helping me wit the swap. 1. Most likely I will go with the 2.0 engine. They are relatively inexpensive and have a good increase in hp unless you convince me otherwise. 2. What angle? I would like to keep the engine lid stock - so I feel like the 45/50 is the way to go. But so many of the internet information I have found seem to go the 15 or upright way? What is the advantages/disadvantages of these? My other bias towards big angle is I hope to obtain a doka some day and would like to transfer the knowledge to that project. 3. What fuel injection? This is where I am most confused and am looking for the most help. Thanks for any information. Tom
