900-1400ccm engines are all based on same crank case so you won't have any problems fitting it
you can use your previous gearbox & all towards front wheels
depending on what engine you had before, I belive you could even use previous exhaust and inlet manifold, perhaps carb....

engine will just slot into the bay
your only probs you can/will have are fuelin forthe GT as they have electric pumps and injection, plus wiring
its all how far you want to go moddin wise

i know you can get a mk1 GT but rare as fook!!!
i was talking about mk3 as more common.
any mk2 polo 1300 engine will fit dude
