   So if he's got a whole vtr, why is he puttin the vtr engine in a west coast, why not keep it in the vtr?

    Im askin because he never said that the vtr was bent or broke.
    
    One can only assume.

    either that or because he has spent alot of time and money on his 1.4 and its more financially viable to do an engine conversion rather than stripping and swapping all the other bits over.

    Or because he wants to insure a vtr engine as a west coast.
    
    insurance dodge.

    i agree with williams on the idea of a vts engine instead but its and easy enough job to go from 1.4 to vtr
