You still need an adapter plate and a custom flywheel to make the VR6 to the
T3 transmission.  There would be no reason why this would not work with an
automatic transmission.

We aren't doing any mods to the transmission - although I can see a dead
Syncro transmission in about 6 months...

Does the engine mate with the Vanagon trans without adapter? Can you
use auto as well as manual trans? Are you strengthening the gearbox?

Thanks,
