Nice link, but the fact that the engine cover is much higher rules out a VR6
for me. I'll be considering the Subaru 4 or if there is a Subaru 5 cylinder.
I loved Wayne's 4 cyl Subaru. Sweet. Quiet as can be and significantly more
power.

Oh, I'm sorry, I copied wrong location from the web browser.
Usually it's a framed web site.

The right link is

Sorry for inconvenience

I did not see any photos but just a lot of links in German. Do you have
specific links? I'm exploring the VR6 conversion for the future.

Hello Andy,

try a look on
http://www.kleverland.de/bulli/archiv/forum.pl?read=15239,
there you will find a lot of detailed pictures about the
VR6 swap. It is a nice conversion, but a lot of to do by
yourself. No kit is available for this. The gearbox is
swapped, too. It's a Porsche G50. This combination
works very well. For any details on that swap, drop an
e-mail, I will translate it for the guy who did that swap.
