[Vwdiesel] Fwd: AAZ swap progress

[Bryan Belman]

I lowered my engine mount points in the front about 1.5 inches and the tranny nose mount.
I left the mounts stock as they connect in the back.
I do get some bucking in 2nd gear if going just the right speed, because of this change, but it is manageable.

The engine lid interference is so slight that nothing protrudes above the
top of the ribs.  I don't mess with the drive train geometry and instead I
cut out the small offending area of the lid an add a piece of sheet metal
over it.  That cure is quick, easy and leaves the bed unaffected.
