there are subframes for sale to fit a big block vw-engine, but they're not cheap, and the heavy engine doesn't improve handling.
There was one for sale here though: http://www.volksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36480

This is a 1.6 16V from a Polo 6N1 in my Polo 86c.
 All VAG smallblocks will fit in a 86c. 17" is waaay to big!

Cool stuff!
As for engines, only engines of the smaller VW engine family will fit without massive surgery. You can probably find one in a Polo newer than yours.

This is a AJV engine from a Polo 6n1 GTI. Nope, no Golf brake booster but the original a bit shortened.

Well, just don't change the engine only. Also replace the booster and disks+calipers.
