The old MK2 engine is only 1147 cc and has siamesed intake ports. The later engine is a 1296 displacement with a better breathing 4 port intake head (but some say comparatively weak bottom end bearings if its a big bearing 1296). But your engine numbers don't make sense. The sound more like commission numbers which would place the engines as a MK3 and an early MK4 - if that's the case go with the mark 3 - the FD (engine) would indicate a MK3 and the FH isn't any (engine) number I am familiar with but the commission number would indicate it as an early MK4. Maybe somebody else has a better scope on numbers. In any case the later engine is the better choice for max power - As far as the springs - go with the later 5 leaf or commonly called Swing spring - be sure to use the larger roll bar with this spring also - If you opt for the older fixed spring - by all means put a camber compensator on it!
