I have an 89 na 1.6 motor and trans that was/is going into an 86 cabrio. It appears that the forward eng motor mount off the motor will not match up with the body.
also the drivers side mount for the body requires, it appears, a different IP bracket in order to accept this mount. I expect the earlier motor would have these type of mounts
I know some of the group have done this swap.
second project. I have been considering several dasher wagons both here on the list and in my region. the draw back is that most of my parts are transverse mounts engine trans and will contine as i will keep the cabrio in the fleet.
I am wondering How late a model passat wagon would accept say a 1.6 td (91) motor and trans. 
Would a 97 body accept this motor and with what change over parts might expect: mounts , axles, shift controls are the biggest issues.
