We are going to build a RWD setup pretty soon. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you can use a VE FWD engine as long as you fabricate your own motor mounts. The VE has oiling groves on the mains (GTIR also), already setup for the VE head (duh), oil squirters, 8cw crank on 20v or vet / 4cw on standard VE's. It just seems easier to make a couple motor mounts that try to convert the old engines over, also the VE's are a lot newer, super cheap and abundant.
