an alternative would be to mate the LS to a G50 from a 911 (keeping it german!
). you have to flip the box the other way but this has been done a million and 1 times!
now I'm not sure how much room the golf has but here is some picks of a SBC in the back of a kit car. got to GTR and then to gallery @ www.ultimasportscars.com
would be a very intresting project but its not the maddest i have seen/heard about. MTM has done a twin engine TT and a german tuner has done a twin engined golf using either 1.8T motors (good for 700bhp each) or VR6/R32 turbo engines! that was nuts! lol

For a manual gear box I would look at the g-force FWD transaxle.
