Engine Replacement
I kept the original gearbox and coupled the front motor to the input shaft. I originally attempted to make the adaptor plate myself along with the coupler, but I failed to be accurate enough.
I was offered the services of a local CNC machinist for the cost of materials so I quickly dropped the motor and gearbox around before he changed his mind. This was the result.

Car Integration
I had to use VCDS to change the softcode to disable the oil temperature sensor.
