I think the mk3 2ltr engine is a "tall block". This will be about 16mm taller than your engine, I am sure that it will fit, but there may be some clearance issues with the bonnet.
I would use the Audi 80 engine (3a?) as this has the same block height and will look totaly standard ;). Your engine mounts, flywheel and g/box will bolt up no probs.
