Need advice on a engine swap nothing to big.

would i need anything else to put one of these engines in a golf mk2 1.3? its pretty much the same engine as mine just not carb (aka headache.) people tell me to buy a weber but wouldn't i be better off if i just put something like this in instead? the reason i'm not looking at vr6 engines is because i'm being realistic for my situation, plus i won't have to declare it as it looks just like the one already in my car.

What would be the point for so little gain and as for not declaring it

Me best mate ran a 1.4 16v on bike carbs in his mk2 and it went like stink!
This engines just an 8v though? Wouldn't bother with swapping in an 8v.
