There are pictures online of a VR6 in a Yangon.
I don't believe that is an engine you would mount at any other angle
that what is stock in the car.........which is nearly straight up an
down, ., a few degrees from that perhaps.
it's to 'wide' I'd think to tilt over much.
It might be bit tall. too.
I thnk it's been done in Europe.
just run a google search on it - VR6 engine in a Vanagon ..........or T4
( is that right ? ) that they call the Vanagon in places like England.
there is also a VW V-6, - a Passat  4 Motion car engine, in some US
model years. like 2002 or so.

(This V-6 engien....... ( not a VR6 ) ............I have seen one in a
Syncro Double Cab Vanagon - at Syncro de Mayo West, near Hollister Ca.
That engine would lend itself to installatioin in a Vangon better than a
VR6 i believe.
