Shawn,

The 5-cyl is only a slightly longer fit. There is s lot more involved
than the reaer crossmember. If anything that is the simplest and least
expensive part in the conversion package. The most expensive part of
the mountint hardware is the South African 5-cyl bellhousing. You see
the 5-cyl was an optional powerplant available on some of the RSA
versions of the Vanagon
