Ok, thanks, will do... I heard that the manifold is a bitch to get 
off...

Off of what car (I'm assuming that it's not aftermarket) would I get 
this from?

Well then...  I think I'm going to price out the difference between a JH 
head, or the whole JH engine.... (I'm not exactly able to throw my cash 
around, being a college student)
Plus just adding on a JH head rather than doing an engine swap would 
make the job considerably easier... 

Thanks alot, between this list and the scirocco web pages out there, I'm 
learning a ton about water-cooled vw's ....!
