Can someone run down pros and cons of both? Shine racing used to have a nice web page with a run down of just about every swap imaginable...
I was gonna go with an ABA/8v CIS-e but I've got a good opportunity locally on a 9A block...

That depends on what kind of time and money you have to throw at the project, and what parts you already have in stock.
If you already have the ABA and 8v head, I'd go that route. You'll be able to use your existing exhaust, intake, wiring, plumbing, fuel system, clutch, ignition, and the list goes on.
An ABA hybrid is a really strong setup. You'd be amazed how much you'll gain from it, and it will look 99% bone stock - only the trained eye can tell the difference between it and your stocker.
If you could get the complete engine, though, the 9A might be worth the effort.

Panzer, thanks for the reply... I think Im gonna pick up a complete 2L 16v on Saturday..
Im wondering what I need for it to work with existing 8V CIS-e wiring and such? Do you know if the injectors are the same?
Do I need different ECU, knock box, extra knock sensor, and fuel pump relay?
Do you know what would be involved going to CIS-e motronic? Digifant?

I read that the non digi. 2.0 motors are an easy install. Just retain your orignal distributor(tttuning.com has a kit)...
Is there any truth to this..
It seems there would be problems using the throttle body from the Motronic 2.0 16v's....
