The mounting holes are completely different in number, size, and
placement. You can buy an adapter plate to put inline 4 VW engines on
boxer bellhousings. The plate can be ordered with 15 degree hole, 50
degree hole, 0 degree holes, or a combination so you can change later.
Usually you would order a matching flywheel that uses the boxer clutch
and boxer starter.
