how much do you want to spend,  it'll probably be a bit more.  look at a build thread and add up the prices that you can get the bits for.

built a mk2 1.8T with a mate for them to do a rally with a £500 budget ( including buying the mk2 and all bits for conversion )   it's possible to do it but bloody hard work.  likewise you can spend 5k easily if you wish to.

3.5k sounds like a good number at the moment

Vr6 swap is easy enough to do but a lot easier with a donor car, also well worth replacing the cam chains whist the engine is out.
