Although Kennedy Engineered Products doesn't list the Audi engine as a 
conversion kit, when I asked they said sure, can do.  Their kits are 
typically $520 for adapter plate and flywheel.  Lots more parts needed. Nice 
thing about the Audi engine is that the starter is on the engine, not trans, 
so you don't need a beefed up VW unit.  Audi engine is about 21.5" long from 
face to pulleys, will just fit.  VW-SouthAfrica do this as a standard 
installation, why not also check what you need from them, Winkler was not 
cheap, maybe the $2000US would get you a used 5spd/Audi trans straight from 
SA, and the exhaust too?  The SA vanagon rear deck is 10 or 15cm. higher. 
Used factory stuff maybe cheaper than aftermarket, and more reliable.  some
