I am trying to swap a 1.8t engine into my 1998.5 (late model) gti. I have been trying to find the engine rebuilt on the internet but i am having no luck. Does anyone know any good websites with good prices that may have the complete engine and tranny?

have you tried Autotech?

You can probably get a complete drivetrain, wiring, ECM, etc... from a fairly low mileage vehicle.

if you wanna go custom and make a good engine from the one you have then try
