Looks like a pretty easy conversion. Fitting a flat 6 (Corvair) was pretty tight. Did he reverse the direction of the motor or flop the ring gear? Does the motor bolt right up to the stock tranny, and are the distances for clutch, throwout bearing, etc. all work and input shaft mate with the clutch? What kind of carbs are those, with what intake manifolds? Jim Showker > Already done - Former editor of Flat4 VW magazine in the UK Paul Cave did it > about 3 years ago on a Squareback.
