why not?   if you use a aircooled vanagon engine AND tranny, this might work..
of course, you wouldnt have any heat, unless you ran a center heater tube up
to the dash (which on most of the earlier wbx, the metal was still cut to
allow this, as well as the indented gas tank for the htr tube)
i dont see what the benefit of doing this conversion would be, other than no
leaky head gaskets, but engine life would be (usually) less.
