Thank you very much Mr. Dave.
I actually did some work on the frame rail with a torch and bfh. It all fits nicely now.
Thanks for the information about the pulley.
At first when I was attempting to drop the engine in, I thought I would have to instead bring it up from under. But then I looked underneath the car and saw a nice large K beam in the way. The Scirocco has extra bracing since it was more of a performance car in it's day. (Also had front and rear sway bars stock)
So, it wasn't feasible to bring it up from under. Instead of changed the length of the chains and made the transmission droop significantly lower than the engine, and then dropped it in that way. I put a 3 1/2 ton jack under the transmission and then lowered the engine to make it level. It's in *almost* the perfect spot right now, but that idler pulley
Once I get rid of the pulley, than i can modify my mount a little to make it fit right. I had re-made it stick out too far from the engine so I could clear the pulley, and that's why my transmission mount won't line up. So, now I'll remake that, again, once I get that new tensioner (hopefully soon!).
Would I be able to get a tensioner from a dealer?
