If your going to swap the engine, why not put an 8v gti lump in, cheap enuff to do, and would make doing it worth wile

- Engine, gearbox and all parts associated such as starter, alternator, clutch etc/
- Slam panel and radiator
- ECU

If your going to do it then fit something worthwhile like an ABF

I was gunna say that but suggested the 8v gti lump as that would be worthwhile compared to a 1.4 lump, and cheap too
