hooch am i right in saying if you got a crank from a new beetle 2.0 short block motor, it will change yours from 1.9 to 2.0l?or would you need different rods aswell?

couldnt comment if the crank would fit, but i think the rods will be ok if the crank fits, its just the pistons.

when i was looking at 2.0l i would have to run normal 1.8t rods but differnt pistons and eurospec crank
