From the MSDS site~

"NOTE: Use of any 911 engine other than the 3.2L Carrera, will cause
the engine to protrude through the engine cover on the Vanagon floor.
The MSDS conversion system is designed with the 3.2 engine for
purposes of not decreasing cargo area space, use of the fold down bed,
and keeping the floor as flat as possible."

I understood that to mean the engine would not protrude through the
engine cover.

Not trying to argue, just trying to keep everyone else informed :)
