I didn't know where to create this kind of thread, but this seems to be a right place. So here's mine question : will the E36 M3 engine (3.2L I6) fit into MK4 Jetta ??

 

I dont have the slightest idea.....but that would be pretty awesome!!

 

probably not the answer your looking for, but any engine/tranny will fit into any vehicle with the right modifications/money otherwise...couldnt tell ya

 

The most accurate answer you will get since you bothered to neither search nor do any legwork to find out for yourself.

 

well actually I think it will fit too, but i went to vwvortex, it's like a vw enthusiast site, they said I6 is way too big for MK4 body, I don't understand why ! i saw an old bimmer e30 with e34 M5 engine and it still has plenty of room, i just don't believe that MK4 don't have enough room for it. do you guys know any good swap store in va beach area that i can call and find out it will or won't fit ?

 

the vw is frwd and the m3 is rwd... i dont think it will fit, but try bimmerforums.com and ask on there, they will give u a def. answer

good luck

 

It can be made to fit, but would require extensive chassis fabrication. And I mean EXTENSIVE!!!

 

Maybe with enough firewall modification, and rerouting everything underneath to clear out the tunnel for a driveshaft. But a Jetta? Why?
