ENGINE UPGRADE HELP PLEASE

[glennsbar]

HI ALL

i have a 1982 t25 with a 1.6 d 4 speed engine with 40k miles but would like a bit more torque. Went for a drive over easter after a lenghtley restore and when i came to a hill it just said "no-way" (max of 10mph)
i would like somthing that is just a straight forward swap with very little mods.
im not a mechcanic but can do a lot of work myself
ive seen some topics talking about aaz engines?
does golf engines fit?

and can i use the gearbox of the new engine?

any help would be great
