Do a search around the site, although not sure what VR6 conversion stuff will be found but I think that there is a 20vt thread stickied in the garage section that should help you. Personally I wouldn't put a VR6 in a mk1 as it will be too front heavy and although quick in a straight line, it's going to take some work to get it to corner properly. That's my opinion anyway.

20vt thread links although one of them is into a mk2. Should help you out anyway. Good luck.
