if you want a cheap conversion u cant do much better (in my opinion) then an ea81 1.8l subi engine. custom engine mounts, custom flywheel, adjuster plate on the bellhousing, engine, radiator and other goodies from the donor subi and u have a lightweight engine that sounds like a vw, fits like a vw and offers stock power of around 80hp with cheap n easy mods to get it upto 120hp. if u choose your donor car wisely u might even be able to adapt electric windows, aircon and other goodies from it!

Have a lok at mine at http://offroadvw.net/vwrx

It's not a good example for a 'budget' conversion but have a look still.
