The "MV" 2.1 short block cost me $55 USD. There are many 1.9 engines I just do not even want to bother with. Local VW junkyard has a 2.1 longblock for $200, good to go.
Do not pay a premium for these motor cores. Normally the cases and cranks do not even need bored or polished. As the heads blow before the bottom end is tired. In my situation the T5 OXY should cost less than a comperable T1 2110 stroker. Much less. Also consider that you might be able to sell some of the WBX parts that are useless and come out even.

i may seem like an idiot, or just a real newbie, for asking this, but can someone give me a complete step by step checklist for converting a stock wbx engine into an obx and putting it into a bug?
1. find good wbx engine 2. tear down and cut water jackets off ....? 3.

Although this thread is three years old (sans the last reply), I have read it just now for the first time.
Ironically enough, I was going through my stacks of old magazines to weed out the issues I no longer wanted taking up space. There was one issue of VW Trends or Hot VWs that had an article on this very subject. I'm pretty sure I kept it. Is there any way I can scan or quote this article and stay within ethical and legal guidelines?
