Er, I would imagine not, would be more engine than car

Put it in the back and go mad.

Not that I've heard of, if I was to do one I'd go with the 3.6 V6 from the Passat R36 and forced induction, with 4MOTION of course.

I was thinking one in the back and one in the front.

Yup that a great conversion, i had done that on my Xbox 360 with one of the Forza games. Was fun.

surely an engine that large/heavy would ruin the handling/eight distribution?

Also I can't imagine it being that small either, would it fit?

I think it would be a case of trying to re-fit a MK1 Golf around a V10 Touareg engine!

Yep 2 5.0V10s in a golf, sounds doable!

Personally I'd say no, might be worth trying it in a mk2 or mk3 as there's more room & they are cheaper to buy. Don't ruin a mk1 please.

With that sort of attitude ill try and squeeze in 3

[DeolTheBeast]

Had to do a double take of the thread title

DO IT.

I think a space frame will be on the cards just wondering if there was any other nutters out there somewhere in the world that had already done it.

Go for 4, one per wheel, proper 4x4.....

It would be a pointless exercise, the end result would be very compromised, what Mk1 Golf's suit is a nice 2.0 16 valve from a MK3 with a little work, perhaps throttle bodies to take it up to 180 bhp, plenty of power in a small shell, a V10 tdi in one would just be spinning the wheels every time you put your foot down and not revving round to 7000 where the fun is, MK1's dont really need the 1.8T engine, nice conversion but probably overkill for having fun as they were quite good with 110 bhp, sometimes less is more.

Yeah didn't even get my clothes or hands dirty

[Choppers]

Can def be done. One guy built a mk1 golf round a tvr chassis - top work !

With the extra weight of the v10 it wont spin *that* much
