if you want something reliable, with ok power. the aba swap would be the most basic

i would also look into getting a 1.8l 8v from another mk2...or a 2.0 16v from a mk2. either of these maintain a good factory ride and will add mad power if you do a good build...cheep too compared to most vw's

the vr6 swap is a lot of work, and the added weight kills your braking and handling unless you dump a lot in mod's. and its effing expensive

trust me...im in the middle of a vr swap in a mk2...

also some do the g60 swaps from corrado's. supercharger 8v...but they are problamatic
