Dressing the truck out like BamZipPow should make for some great MPGs.

Maybe "loosely bolted in" means just a broken motor mount ?

You may be able to find a wrecked/rusted 1999.5-2003 Golf/jetta and move the TDI into the one with the blown motor. I've seen wrecked ones for <$2000
This will greatly increase your towing capacity as well.

Check where the floor pan meets the door sill, its a common rust spot.
