engine swap shops -South Jersey



Hello all.
This autumn, I plan on getting the 1.6L (does not run) replaced with
whatever engine combo you suggest will make this stock 1979 Scirocco quick
and fun to drive. I live in southern New Jersey, USA. Does anyone know of
someONE or a some experienced reputable shop in my area that can help me
with the following situation??

I thought it may be easier to  start by buying  someone else's  project for
sale, but this car I recently purchased has 35,000 original miles on it and
, besides  some minor collision damage, requires no restoration work (no
rust), near perfect interior. The car is like a time capsule. New German
Performance quoted me a $4-$5K fr a complete A3 2.0L ABA motor conversion
(intake, e.c.u., 5 speed trans, clutch, 16v scirocco brakes). In reality I
can expect this quote to go over budget by maybe one thousand dollars...Then
what about all the fun stuff.. wheels, suspension , accessories.. $$$$$$$ !!
As Scott Williams told me, $5000 for 115 HP is not worth it.

What should I do with this car?
