Scirocco Engine in a Bug

[wrack at comcast.net (Antaki)]

Hello all,
This summer I am planning on putting an 8v engine/tranny from a
Scirroco, Golf, Rabbit, jetta or whatever car from the 80s. I am
planning on doing an traverse mounting in the bug, not north-south as it
is now.  
 
My first question is - can the output of the transmission easily be
reversed (in the bug you can just flip the diff over and 1-4 gears will
push you backwards)
Second Question - Who has an 8v(or even 16v) engine/tranny with all the
wiring and brains that they would like do sell for cheap?  I will be in
need of everything - intake, exhaust, brains, complete engine.
 
thanx for your time,
Kevin
