Question
Will any Porsche motors bolt on to a 1986 VW Golf GTI?

Answer
    No, Porsche doesn't build any FWD cars.  You might think that a motor is a motor, but there are a lot of changes that have to be made in order for an engine to work in a FWD car.  You might be able to make a later model VR6 work, but it would be a chore.
