If you can read, and I assume you can since you posted, then it can be done.

Grab the entire wiring harness or go with a standalone ecu. There's a write up on TII wiring changes, not sure about the REW TT. This isn't a simple swap, both the wiring and fuel systems need redone/modded. Start reading.

Use a pre-'86 front cover for the motor mounts.

As for whether it's a good deal, it depends entirely on the condition of the engine and what's included.

dont take this personally, but you are not getting the message . You need to read A LOT first because you are going to have about 8000 questions for this project and about 7,800 of them can be answered by using the search function and reading .

search , read , search , read , ask , search read .... etc. etc.
