how much do you want to spend??

what size motor??

You going to do any work yourself??

Is your exhaust, clutch, carb etc etc useable??

look at any where from (supply only from a shop) $1500 for a fresh top end to $3k for a "new"
less for 2nd hand do your self
more for drive in drive out with "everything" done

Hiya Bear,

That you are driving an AutoStick may change the nature of the game somewhat.

Basically, VW engines are VW engines. But the engine for an AutoStick is a little different in a couple of ways. It has a special dual oil pump that the manual engine does not. The AutoStick engine also has a flexplate instead of a flywheel. And there are a couple of other differences. All of which to say.............you cannot just buy any old engine and expect it to be a bolt-in on your AutoStick.

I'm thinking that you might want to be talking to a rebuilder who will rebuild your current engine and reuse/recondition some of your existing parts.
