Default Engine Swap 1.8t FWD to 2.8Q

I bought a 98 1.8t fwd today with a blown engine and stumbled across this on fleabay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT
it comes with complete engine, engine harness, ECU, transmission, differential, complete front end (subframe, complete suspension) catalytic converters with O2 sensors, complete exhaust. Is this swap enen possible or should I try to find the 1.8t fwd? A local shop quoted me $800 for an engine swap but will probably charge alot more to swap tranny and everything else.

Thanks

Sorry man. i did not mean that. I'm at work and try to deal with some stupid people.

Since you have one 2.8, I think you should go with 1.8t engine. it is more fun and more room to mod.

go with 1.8t engine.
