David, Why not say how far the engine is tilted (in degrees) and if you use the diesel carrier system and bellhousing or its another approach? After all, you have made you opinion known previously about the various engine tilt angles when talking about your decision to offer an upright engine conversion option. No need to be coy, no need to publish accurate specs (if you are worried about others copying your setup), but it would be nice to know more, or at least see an other than top down view of the engine compartment.

Ground clearance will be the same for both the 2WD and the Syncro. There is more to this installation than lowering the engine slightly! The TDI isn't any shorter than a Digifant II engine. If you look really closely, you'll see it is not at 15 degrees! ;-) David Marshall |
