I have a 95 Golf TD rustout here and a 91 GTi 16v can be had nearby. has anyone ever done a swap like this? mk2 16v gas to diesel using a mk3 for a donor? it's pretty much just a parts change isn't it? gastank exhaust do some wiring? if anyone's done it please let me know what you think.

I put a mk2 diesel engine into a mk2 gasser Golf
Straight forward.
Give me a call if you like

[ilikevwdiesel]

oh that's an easy one I'm wondering about the mk3 to mk2.

[rallydiesel]

Well the mounts are the same. I think it would be pretty straight-forward.

[jasonsansfleece]

No need to change the gas tank or the wiring either (if you dont mind a few redundant connectors hanging around)

[ilikevwdiesel]

I would want to change the gas tank and lines if they fit so I can get rid of the fuel pumps and the restriction on the filler neck. I think they interchange but not positive.

[jasonsansfleece]

You could take out the in tank pump if you wanted to. For the filler restriction, I tore out the metal flap and heated up a piece of 1" tube IIRC with a gas torch and enlarged the hole accordingly.

[ilikevwdiesel]

ok I hear ya man but I don't want to do all that stuff. I just wanna plug and play otherwise it's too much work. you feel me? 

[jasonsansfleece]

Yes, but swapping tanks is work too! Its easier to mod the filler neck and leave the pump in.
This is Livermore ghetto we are talking, yes

Some snob from the coast!

Heck the engine swap part is easy under the hood and even wiring since its ce2 and a td(not many wires needed to make it work properly)! the gas tank i have no personal exp with but shouldn't be that bad!It just seems like everytime i drop one(tank) from up north i end up breaking bolts and drilling and tapping something.

You won't be able to exchange fuel tanks, but i don't think it'd be too hard to remove the lift pump and run a line down from where it attaches to the bottom of the tank cover. That way you will have the fuel sender  that matches the gauge. The biggest issue would be the exhaust.
