  Ian, I am aware of these cases too, but before you hurry off and get one
  for your bug, make sure that the flywheel end of the engine will fit. As
  far as I know that engine was used *only* in the Vanagon and may be
  configured to bolt up to the 091 gearbox with a 228mm clutch like a 
  wasserboxer.
  Looking in Haynes (A copy of which I wish I had, but don't) should clear
  this up.

  Also, does anyone know if those 1600cc Vanagon cases are made of Aluminum
  or Magnesium?
