Other than the Eurospec 15 degree kits, the only other "kit" available for the ALH and other later style VAG engine blocks that I'm aware of is from FAS in Maine. Their approach would allow you to install the engine over at 50 degrees, since it uses a custom oil pan and engine mounts. I'm installing an ALH at 15 degrees by using a Passat oilpan and stock mustache bar, along with a stock LS 1.8t Passat engine mount. There's really no easy or inexpensive way to mount these engines in a T3, but I love them, so it's worth the effort
