Possible engine swap

air cooled VW Beetle


seems to work well the other way round anyway

Yep! A LOT! Any google search will throw up loads I would think and theres a Turbo'd Type 2 van on here, same engine in principle!

problem is mine is not Front wheel Drive

sorry - very poor attempt at wit

going on the no of old aircooled rides tearing about with subaru engines in them there must be tons of vw motors laid around,

anyhow, moving on to sensible ideas

;)I'm never quite sure with you if you're being serious or sarcastic!

???not sure id applaud the engine change!!?? but surely it may be worth looking into the old 1.8 turbo lumps found in that wierd subaru 1800 coupe from slightly later[also in the glf turbo estate] ,however not sure i could applaud removing an engine from such a rarity !!??,hang on a minute another pattern emerging here ,leave it stock mechanically or sell it for something quicker? even as j-tin is ,this is a very rare car ,also if you need parts for old scoobies place wanted ads on farm forums and publications,its amazing how farmers just park up there old rires and leave em ,they used to get these sort of things free with combines!!!!!
