I'm wondering if this would be worth it... Swapping a 9A 16v engine in a Mk3 Golf... Or should I go with the traditional way... tuned 2.0 crossflow, VR6, whatever people stick in their Mk3 nowadays? I always thought a 16V Mk3 would be cool and unique.
Was it ever done before? if so could someone post some links, pics, whatever? Thanks in advance

It would be unique in a sense because you'd have the "old" 2.0L 16V in your MKIII.

I should mention as an FYI that this GTI was only commercialized in Europe and perhaps Asia. NA never got it.

except thats not a 9A, it's an ABF

right on. ABF is like 9A's older brother, they are both daddy's pride & joy.

I am aware that VW made the ABF 16V available in Mk3s and Corrados in Europe. I was contemplating this idea because it's an unusual swap and a 2.0L 16V should be enough to get the car moving
