I would check out the performance curve of the engine and match it against
the vw system to see how compatible it was.  For some reason like I
mentioned earlier some engine swaps like to eat up the vw trannie when
others perform perfect.  Horsepower itself is not the factor but where and
when the engine throws the torque.
I would retain & use the Caddy 4 sp automatic.

I'm thinking the VW trans would be the week link with this engine.
