Id use the 83 GTi engine, complete after a good rebuild. Use the 86 TB
after you do a little dremel work on the manifold so the TB fits
perfectly to the opening on the manifold. That's not gonna net you much
more performance over a stock JH motor but it will be a little better and
definitely better than the 1.7L you had in there. 
Use the tranny and be sure to use the axles and a 16V clutch disk from
the 16V.
There's lots more you can do to get more street legal power, its just a
matter of money. (Like anything.)
