Henry,
    Your here in PA?  I'm in Pgh.   VW's are not that popular
around here, so you are going to need to buy a wrecked
vehicle and dismantle it.  Otherwise the cost are going to
skyrocket.  This is what I did.  I ended up dismantaling 3
vehicles, to get all the parts I needed.  Are you buying
a kit or are you making up your own?  I built everything
but the engine adapter.  What angle are you mounting
your engine?  Mine is 15 deg. ...see my web page...

It needs updated.....
