Thats US$300-$350 ish, right?

Not a bad price, but that's kinda high mileage (= 152400). If it has been
well cared for you should be okay, but I'd be a little wary if its a
junkyard motor or sth like that.

It's a piece of cake to use CIS-E, just bolt up the new block and put the
head back on, no changes to wiring, fuel or otherwise.

If you might want the motronic stuff later then grab it (if you get a good
deal) but it is a much more involved swap. Lots of electrical & fuel line
splices, some fabricating, I think. It's detailed in the scirocco.org
technotes IIRC.

Not sure which autotech downpipe you're referring to but if it has to do
with the block height, the 2l block is dimensionally identical to the
1.8l, so nothing special is needed in the exhaust arena.
