A few months ago I had a quick pipe dream about swapping a 2.5 5-cylinder from a new Rabbit or Jetta into project Scirocco Madness. It was short lived, but I knew it would eventually happen thanks to someone with more time, money, talent and dedication, and that time has already come.
Josh at Nothing Leaves Stock is the man behind the swap, which is up and running, and sounding every bit as awesome as I would have thought. Josh details some of the fine points (hint: this is not an easy swap at all) in his thread on VW Vortex. He even managed to make an 020 transmission work, which is no small feat in and of itself. From the sounds of it he may have some of those C2 Motorsports camshafts in the thing already...a real nice and lumpy idle. But don't take my word for it, check it out right here:
Josh is pretty talented when it comes to big projects like this....his shop is responsible for a lot of really stellar work, particularly in the early cars. Keep tabs on this project, it'll be one to watch.
