99 short block or 92

[mdsm]

Is there any advantage to using a 99 shortblock in my 92 tsi or would it be best to rebuild the 92, both the 99 and 92 would have to be built first, I just wonder witch shortblock would be best to begin with? Sorry if i have overlooked a previous post regaurding this subject.
Thx Mike

92 definetely. The 99 will probably eventually crankwalk, and you don't need that headache. Just build the 92. Plus the 92 has a chance of being a 6-bolt. Either way, the 92>99.

Okay, you're still better off using the 92. Best of luck to you.
