A friend of mine put the later fuel injected 8v lump in his carb'd vit without too much grief. Or its the 1.9 vw or peugeot route, i think some conversion kits are available.

I'm finding the GV 2 litre petrol engine good, it even has 16 valves  :grin: not been anywhere near off road yet but on road its got a fair bit of grunt in it and its actually quite economical which is suprisingly nice  :P

Chain driven as well  ;)
