Absolutely Larry, I will find the url for you ... however , it has been posted on the forum.. so a search may find it.. when we were talking about adapter for 5 speed....

"This is the necessary ingredient to make a decent bug!" I have been dreaming about this for 15 years....

Kerry , That is exactly the reason... it is the " corrected" VW engine . The nice thing about using it to transplant into a VW bug (or bus) chassis... is that the motormounts were actually transmission mounts... and were designed for the same direction vibration which the sube engine has ( since they are both flat fours)....
KEP makes the adapters to bolt them in...
and two more things.... it weighs less than the original VW engine... ( due to the cast iron heatexchangers for the heater) and uses less space ( due to not needing metal ductwork to move air to the right places for cooling ).
