[Vwdiesel] It arrived!

The one I tried to fit was with AC and it will NOT fit around the front cross support.  I tried many different fittings and couldn't get the engine in place and here in TEXAS A/C is not a good thing to have it is an absolute MUST.  :^)

Possibly if AC was on and/or power steering added it wouldn't fit but the engine I had I deleted all but the water pump/alt.   I also have a 5 speed from a mid 80's golf I put in there that was the best gearing I could find. Reverse switch for the backup lights I couldn't make work but if I say at 55 I can easily get mid 40's. When I was in Wyoming I could only do about mid 30's but I was also driving on the interstates more or just in town. 30 mph and 75 mph aren't the best speeds for MPG.
