Helmut,
  Why did you mount your five cylinder engine upright rather than
at the same angle of the in-line four diesel vanagon ?
Thanks,
Kevin Disse

Hello Kevin,
That's because of the arrangement of the bellhousing. This
part is originally used by VW South Africa and fits very well
between gearbox and engine.
The engine mount, a original VW part, too, only supports
this 'upright' mounting.
Another reason is the large intake manifold. Even I used
an 90 degree angled rubber duct out of another AUDI,
this is very closed to the left wall of the engine compartment.
There is no space to turn the engine more than the
standard 40 degrees, which is same used in the AUDI
passenger cars.
If you like to build up same engine swap: The air intake
ductwork, which I did in plastic pipes, have to be modified.
The plastic don't resist the temperatures in the engine
compartment and this cause some leaks and wrong air
comes into the system. I modified this, but have to write
an update for the Web site.
Stay tuned to Tom's VW pages to get new information
about Vanagon engine swaps. I you require specific advices,
just drop a mail.
Regards
Helmut
