Long block motors have a larger distributor opening than the short block, so to run the 1.8 distributor in the 2.0l you will need a "spacer" ring to get it to fit properly.
A blank off plate will also be needed for the inlet ports on the 2.0l to close off the injector indents.
You will also need the 2.0l engine mount rubber from the later Mk2 or mk3, it's shorter than the 1.6/8 one. This is to help keep the gear linkages straight and working and also so that the front engine mount on the cross member doesn't fail prematurely.
If you have those items then it's mostly plug and play, some parts will have to be kept from the old motor, the vehicle specific ones that are unique to the model. These you will see as the transfer takes place.
Good luck

Thank u missioner for that information,if i want to get the proper 2.0 8 v dizzy from Goldwagen,will it work,or is their any modifying involved?
& what about the current carb: i suppose it needs bigger jets or worst case scenario a different carb?
Being mk3 you can just get the goldwagen dissy and it will work fine. It should have an electonic advance system. To be sure just take and post a pic of the current dissy.

Thank you Panic,much appreciated!
Will keep you posted..
This would be fine if you are running EFI. Since you want to keep the carb for now, you need to get the original one to work.
One could use a hybrid of carb and EFI stuff to get it to work without vacuum advance, but if you go to that much trouble to get the ignition right, the remaining work to complete the fuel system to make it fully electronic is minimal. As soon as you buy an EFI system you might as well go all in.
Find a tuner close to you that you trust, talk to them regarding what options they have for you. You may find it to be quite close to within your budget once you do the sums on the whole job.
When you don't specifically look for it you tend not to notice that. But I have played with golf 3 carb jobs often becuase my sister owned one which later became mine so I soent a fair amount of time looking at it very closely.
