You need a the block.  All your Scirocco stuff(mounts, clutch assembly,
etc) will bolt up fine.  I would recommend new motor mounts since the motor
is out anyway and new crankshaft gaskets too.  The only thing I can think
of that you must have would be a headgasket, timing belt and tensioner.

'90 Passat had a 2.0 16V.  That's where a lot of us got our 2.0 blocks.

Short block is just the block.  Long block includes the head.

Great idea!

I've heard around $500 is average.  Hopefully you pay less of course.  Mine
cost $300.
