Yea, but, it isn't VW power and it isn't "stealth" - at least with a Vanagon Single Cab, you have a radiator to cool the motor and the "treasure chest" to hide the motor. It would be a very unsuspecting vehicle to say the least! :-)

David, that split HAS serious power! On 1/22/06, David Marshall <mailinglist@fastforward.ca> wrote: Holy Crap - that's some serious work! Sort of reminds me of a few mid engine projects out there. I think getting something like a single cab and installing an engine in the treasure chest and using the transmission designed for that engine, so say a Cummins Turbo Diesel of sorts... oh wait a minute - let's keep it a VW and get some serious power - the V10 TDI from the Touareg!
