add some removable chassis horns to your rear subframe to mount the gearbox off. triangulate them to the shock mount. make a new cross member for the
engine support. you may want to add some extra metal in the back section to stiffen it up. Wayne Penrose did this with a turbo type4 notch he built.
There's a bunch of pics of it in VWmA over the last year or so.

Yeah what pete said.. Also I had trouble getting the stock engine mounts/brackets to do what I wanted to do, so I got some new ones from the auto
parts store, off a commodore or something, that were better sized.
