which is easier to do?

I have found two good engines in cars that im thinking of buying. one is out of a polo (aef) engine and the other is from a golf with a (1y) engine. Which is easier to fit?

My van is a 1.6.


thanks

Wheel Sizes

All 4 of my tyres need replacing. Especially now since two of them have been slashed!

Im thinking of getting some bigger wheels. I have the 175s on now.

If i want bigger tyres do i need to buy the rimms too?

Does anyone know a good supplier to get some from and what sizes should i go for?

Thanks
