• I contacted Jeff at Rocket Chip about immobilizer defeat in my swap project and he said;
        "That Mk4 engine won't easily fit in M3 body".
  Can anyone shed some light on this?

• Rear engine mount.

• Is it an interference with turbo? My plan is to use the MK3 engine mounts bolted to the ALH.

• Thanks. That looks easy enough to duplicate with my mill machine and metal burrs.

• You'll probably have to do some work on the front mount bracket as well. I had to grind down the back of my mount to clear the crank sensor and then I added a brace with a gusset over to the starter bolt.

• Good. I can handle that one with the plasma cutter and welder.

• Where's G60ING to post a link?  :wink:
  
   He did an ALH in a Corrado which is pretty much the same swap. There are some pics in here that show how the mount needs modifying:
