The movement is OK, but make sure you have a support bearing at the engine side. If you don't that play will kill your box.

These are my personal opinions, no one elses:

Please read the stickies up at the top of this section. I've given you a fair few links to my conversion - I believe you're doing a late bay convo (look at the early posts on here from me)

1/ State what engine/conversion you are doing. Put it in your sig - saves you typing it every time. Some of us "regulars" really CBA to search through your posts to find out what you're doing - hence the "Before posting" sticky - it's up there ^^^ at the top of this section

2/ It's becoming a bit obvious that your using Rich's conversion, but not reading the instructions on fitting

now (all in my own opinion - not VWKDs) read, research what you are doing, read the instructions, then get back with specific questions

Seriously, I'm glad to help. Just don't expect me to waste my time answering questions that have gone before
Happy
