We did this mod for a customer. Basically you have to lower the engine by about 6 inches to get it to fit. We did this by welding steel "L" plates onto the engine carrier bars. Here is how we did it: We then installed some liquid filled mounts from a Jetta onto the bottom of the alloy engine mounts. Then install your "L shaped brackets to the bottom. Now use the jack that has been supporting your motor this whole time and lower the engine to the desired height. Make some tack welds. Support the engine again and remove the carrier bars. Weld stuff up right. Replace carrier bars and you should be good to go. //::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: > Is it possible to put an ABA 2.0L at 15 degrees in a Westy without > modifying the lid? > Best regards. > Gilles Turmel > > >
