I was trying to figure that out but, like most all else, it's smarter than
me. I think that's the first "mid-engine" V8 vanagon I've ever seen. Made me
wonder what they did with all the cable and line routing to access the
tranny, clutch, brakes, etc.? I suppose cooling could be even a little
better with the slightly shorter distance? Sure does use up a lot of space,
but leaves the rear almost like a trunk. Looks like the sliding door will
barely close, too. Air cleaner interference? Also looks like there are marks
on the floor for more cut-outs (white). I suppose the "trunk" is where the
new fuel tank will go.
What a project! ;)
