VR6 first fitment

Being that this is a customer build, some things such as sizing up the engine mounts to get the entire drivetrain in the exact location can only be done using actual mearurements, so the as-is transmission and brand new adapter were mounted (no clutch) to the engine and then the entire package was "floated" into its exact, correct x-y-z location in the engine bay using the transmission mounting points as the basic reference:
Right side

Left side

"#1283: Meet your new VR6"

Perfect fit
At this point, Ed tack welded the engine mounts together and once he was confident everything lined up as it should they were finished off and sent out for powder coating:
