Default Vw rabit engine swap

I am also scarred of the electronics. However i can do all the grunt work and pay someone to do what i cant!!!! This is my every day driver but soon i will be buying another 84 rabit and will turn the 83 into a fun project. I have also played around saying that i want to put a blown superchard v8 in the bed!!!!!! lmao

V8?- That's pretty nothing.
There is a german having a Mikoyan jet engine in the bed- road legal as cargo. Pushes him in 2.83 seconds to 136 mph...

I don't have the weight-but the hp and the max possible speed:

1650hp

and

550 mph
The owner, a former jet engine engineer, states he never did use it faster than 173 mph- way to dangerous!

and some pictures:

I have to state the pictures are not my property:
