your gonna have to go manual... unless your like a seasoned master vw tech... lol. but your best bet is to get a whole car with a vr6 and use it as a parts car.. and you can keep your beetle radiator.

Engine swaps are also somewhat common within the Volkswagen tuning scene, often placing Mark III and Mark IV engines such as the VR6 and 1.8 T into the Mark II GTI, Jetta and Corrado. Less common is the swap into a Mark 1 Golf or Cabriolet, giving an amazing power to weight ratio, even with minimally modified power plants.

I've been considering this swap as well. This is a good thread.
What version of the vr6 is best and what are the common problems with these engines?

IMO the mk3 12v vr6 is the best, because you can pick them up for a couple hundred bucks, the only problem is making the motor mounts, other than that and the wiring the swap is accually really easy. if you have any questions feel free to ask, i can also help with the making of the harness if anyones interested. also my buddy has a 2004 24v vr6 with an 02m 6speed tranny, its in a totaled GLI but everything is still good, im pretty sure he wants $1500 for the whole car.
