Yeah, but they have the luxury of stuffin them in with a 15 degree slant and the rear trunk isn't in the way of the transmission end of the head. Besides, the engine compartment on a beatle is quite a bit taller believe it or not. If you run it at 15 degrees in a teener, you'll corner amazingly to the right, but left handers might get a bit squirrely;) Don't get me wrong, it'd be an awesome swap especially if you could mate it to an audi transmission. With enough money anything is possible. BTW, if you pull the smog equiptment off a 12v audi v6 it'll hit 220 as well and comes with a transmission that just fits the engine. |
