2.0 16v conversion in 85' 8v Roc'



List,
    I have a few(probably alot actually) questions for you guys about a 2.0 
16v engine swap in my 85' 8v 'Roc. I dont even have an engine yet, but what I 
wanted to know was, what all in involved in the transplant. For instance, 
could I use the 2.0 head as well, or do I need the 1.8? I know that the 2.0 l 
intake manifold is different, so would a scirocco 16v manifold bolt up to the 
the 2.0l head? Next thing, would it be advisable to try and use the Motronic 
injection, or just get the CIS-E injection for simplicity? Or is it not even 
much harder to use Motronic? What all must be done as far as wiring harnesses 
go if I am to use the motronic or cis-e injection? The motormounts should be 
the same, right? Can I just use the scirocco 16v manifold and downpipe? Will 
it bolt right up to my current stock cat? I know this is ALOT of Q's, but I 
am looking for answers as I dont have experience in this field of engine 
swaps. Oh yeah, will I be able to use my existing fuel pumps and stuff? I 
have a JH 8v. Basically, I am looking for the most simplistic, fundamental, 
cheapest, and easiest way to do this swap. I am not really into cutting 
corners, BUT if there are a few that can be cut without much of a worry, I am 
willing to do it if possible. The reason I am so cheap and budget minded(I 
know pretty much EVERYONE here is budget minded though), is because I am in 
my senior year at highschool, and my parents(especially my mom) are giving me 
crap about ceasing my spending on the car in order to save a little for 
college, but I think I can work it all out somehow by the end of this 
schoolyear. Once again, I know there are ALOT of questions, but I know that 
alot of you guys have done this type of swap, or know someone who has done 
this swap before, and I am looking for all the help I can get on this. Your 
help is much appreciated on this issue. I really dont know what I would do 
without the list.

Thanks,
Tim Fritz.
