I don't think you can, as the engine mounts for the 1.4 are completely different to the 1.3.
In the MK4 Polo, you can only G40 a 1.3 shell.

i think a g40 lump wont fit into a mk2 beeza sheel that well, a mk4 polo shell is fine for a g40
would be unique though, should do it anyway

convert the 1.4 to a s/c 1.4, dump the G40 idea - that way it will 'fit'
though you'll need to fabricate the mounts etc for it, and work out fuelling etc
still a lot of effort for zero gain given it's fairly low output

Or jast scrap all those ideas and go extremely old skool and put a steam engine in it
Now that would be unique!

ibiza_streg: unique, certainly, but.....

I thought vr6 or 1.8 turbo is going to more expensive then to g40 it actually I just wanted a little toy to wheel spin etc etc, so I wont be doing much work on the suspension i think
I'm not an expert on engine prices, but I'd wager there isn't much difference in value between a g40 and a vr6, due to the relative rarity of the g40.
Yeah, engines are cheap....
G40's worth having are even less cheap.... because of the expensive 'charger

it's a 1.3 that makes 113 bhp standard (that's only a couple of bhp less than my 2.0 8v). And they are easy to tune with a better charger on them.
