tall block engines just don't fit into a polo without a lot of work and fabrication.  Be best off getting a mk2 golf and stick the engine in that.

yes they came with them as standard so given the correct engine mounts it'll go right in.  You'll need all the ancillary parts like ECU, wiring etc...etc...
