Is it possible to put a mk1 engine in a mk2 Octavia?

the non pd version, say the ALH for example?

If so how much work is it, what else would need changing?

EDIT* Diesel engine*

I have a mk1 that really loves running on veggy oil but the PD engine can't take it - hence me asking

Sounds like a lot of effort.

Can't you sell your PD MkII and buy a MkI instead?

I don't have a mk2 yet, just considering buying one if it was possible to have the mk1 engine in it

id imagine you'd need to have custom made engine mounts, then will the gearbox from the mk2 mate to it? If not, will the mk1 box fit.

You'd need to map the mk2 ecu so the engine side of things is designed for a mk1. If you put a mk1 ecu in you'd need to map it so all the toys etc on the mk2 work properly.

You'll also need to check the legalities of running on veg oil in a 2005> car

If you have the time, energy and cash it might be worth it. But I imagine it will be a huge job

I imagine you would have to go through your entire yearly tax-free veggie oil allowance each year to make it financially worth the effort.
