If the problem is a nose heavy car, this could be a solution...

MC2 engine with 034 EFI installed:


07K engine project:


I found these pictures on the 'net and they show a significant weight reduction i my view....

A 07K engine could be a US VW Jetta 2.5L I5 (NA) or a TTRS/RS3 (Turbo) engine

924's probably a better startting point if that's the plan.

Make it mid engined as moving the overhang from front to rear would just be as bad.

Then use a front wheel drive box to just drive the rear wheels and have a rear wheel drive mid engines monster
Best idea in my eyes! Box in the rear seat, cut out original seat and mount engine in the middle!
