look for a j-reg gsi engine, with bosch injection, i wouldnt go for the later model as you will have more problems.
engine would be around ?150 with engine/gearbox loom.
you will also need the fuel pump and tank off the car.
i got a reel of the metal hose you need to run for the fuel lines, that cost about ?15, and the rubber hose was about ?6 in total as you need 2 different sizes. then you need about 10 jubilee clips.
exhuast aint a probly as long as you use your 1.4 manifold/downpipe/system etc

you can use your exhaust yes no problem, id recommend new gaskets though especially on the manifold.

As long as you get the earlier gte/gsi engine with bosch injection your cam will fit fine. the lug pin on the later versions are different. also on the cam belt the earlier version has a half moon shape knobbles on it, the later models have V shaped nobbles on the am belt.
If you need any parts give us a shout

i know u txt me back m8 but i never got it till 8am this morning. Ill be up fez on saturday amd for an hour on sunday, o and friday aswell :) not that i go there often
