Just curious.  Am I missing something?  Why does the 15 degree engine
transplant keep getting questions?  It seems pretty wrong..like there are
all kinds of reasons why you  ( well, reasons that *I* would consider as
'deal-breakers')  wouldn't probably choose to do it that way..Unless I am
missing something, the diesel type 50 degree install seems like a
no-brainer..It fits under, has just as much clearance as a regular van, no
messing inside the motor or swapping major components around  with other
motors..Cheap as dirt and dead-nuts reliable..How many Rabbits, Golfs,
Jettas etc are out there running on and on?  Anywhere in the world you can
find a mechanic that will know how to work on the inline four VW motors, and
if you don't want to bother fixing it, should it ever break, just get
another from the junkyard for a few hundred bucks..
  Would a 15 degree install be cheaper somehow?

  Just curious...Not saying there is anything wrong, if that is what you
want to do.
