2.5 L Transporter engine mounting bosses

[UrS4boy]

I was (past tense) under the impression that the I5 2.5L transporter block had all the mounting bosses that would allow it to be "easily" mounted in an S2 or, in my case, a 93 C4 body S4 (where the AAN sits now). Someone has suggested to me that my assumption was wrong and that motor/engine mounts have to be fabbed to make it work rather than just bolting OE mounts to the 2.5 L block.

Anybody with direct experience with this?

do a few searches for Marco & jeffer aswell i think, quite a while back they documented alot of work he did on this conversion.

question

HI
ARE YOU REFERING TO THE T25 VW TRANSPORTER ??????

IN SOUTH AFRICA WE HAD THE T25 VW TRANSPORTER MICRO BUS/CARVELLE
WITH THE 2.5 LITER 5 CYLINDER AUDI ENGINE (later made to 2.3 and 2.6 liter).....FROM THE UITENHANGE(incorrect spelling) FACTORY IN SOUTH AFRICA

THIS ONE WAS SAME AS THE BLOCK AS THE C3 AND C4 AUDIS( 100 AND A6 SHAPE AUDI)


SAME MOUNTING BOLT HOLES ETC


HOPE THIS IS OF SOME USE

cheers
