Default Re: Swap in TT engine in place of NA engine

Quote:
Ok 3 things.

1. Which of you responding have actually done this swap, witnessed it being done or even assisted in the swap process?

2. Which of you are going off of knowledge from others or readings?

3. I'm sure someone swapping to a TT engine would not care if NA parts work on the TT engine if it means a performance "DROP" and that said people responding (I thought would) should assume that I or my friend wouldn't want to put NA heads on a TT block if they do not FLOW as good as the TT heads do. So please if there's a performance drop or "strength issue" using NA parts on the TT engine setup I or my friend would not want to use those parts or know about it. When I ask what NA stuff can be used on the TT engine I'm asking about stuff that can move over without concern and with the intent that it will perform the same exact task the same way. If not then its of no use.

The main thing I was hoping to accomplish with this thread was really a "swap list" in LIST form, but I'm not even sure which of you guys is right vs wrong and while I'm inclined to believe some of you more than others there is still a lot of overlapping information here.

I have personally never done this and I'm not even doing it to my car. My main concern up front was that the frames on the TT vs NA are in fact different and I didn't think the TT block would mount up at all. The rest of the stuff ..... please let us know if you done this or if you are just reporting info you've read up on.
I've done more than I can count. I do them Monday-Friday 8:30-6pm. I agree with you that this thread is confusing. Feel free to call the shop and I can tell you everything you need to know.
