Seriously... I would build the engine for you.
You should get the TP208 or TP225 SBD kit, or perhaps the Alpha Gold kit made by Webber for a 2.0..

if its for every day use just do it to the spec you want it to be
similar spec to what i got now but with
cams (264) nothing too lairy
headwork
arps (which i have)
lightend fly wheel
organic clutch
Limited slip diff
and find some 2nd hand tb's from various sourcs they come up on MIG quite often
then I would get it mapped with an after market ECu which means you could have a map for economy and every driving and another map for going schitzo

I'm thinking the only problems you get with TB's are cold starts, other than that you get the reliability of fuel injection and the extra power...
