Yes those 3.1s were monsters at the time, I wonder if they would feel as fast these days?
A guy I worked with many years ago had a MK3 Ghia Auto, he had managed to find a 3.1 engine from a wreck. He fiited it into his MK3 and that was a rocket ship, the problem was the gearbox protested and lost top and reverse, it was overhauled but with a couple of months it happened again. The company who did the first overhaul did it again with some upgrades. Sadly a few weeks later he lost control and it was written off.
