Question Swap in TT engine in place of NA engine

Ok I see these threads and other similar ones:
TT Conversion Bible
the TT conversion link thread

And all I see is talk of conversions. Are NA to TT engine swaps not talked about just because they're so easily done? or is it that they are too difficult or too much money to undertake?

Basically my questions are:
1. What are the main concerns dropping a TT engine into a NA frame?

2. Mounts fit just right? or need some weird metal work done? I know the frames are different, but dunno if the mount holes/bolts line up anyway.

3. Do you just swap the entire wiring harness all the way from the TT ECU to the entire engine bay?

4. Should the master cylinder and/or brake booster be upgraded? Calipers, rotors too?

5. Can you just buy a TT shortblock and put everything from the NA engine on top of it? Yes, I know I'm showing what I don't know. lol

6. What else?

I'm asking all this for a friend actually.
