It's called an MK1.5. It is alot of work. Not only do you have to weld up all new mounts, but you also have to rewire the entire harness. It is by no means an easy swap.

If I were to throw a motor into anything for the purpose of adding power, the 5sfe would definetly not be the motor I'd use. If you're willing to tackle huge projects check out the v6 swap.
