They are... in Germany (by the way, VW dropped the VR designation
some time ago, and it's now just V6. But nobody makes an adaptor kit
(flywheel, sdaptor plate).


The Subaru Legacy-generation engine is a far better one though, and
is a BOXER. Hence the Subaruvanagon list. Big choice of engine
capacity, power (100-300+hp) and even number of cylinders (4 or 6).
KEP makes a quality adaptor kit; the Australians make one or two
crappy ones.
