Has anyone ever tried ftting belt-driven SOHC or DOHC heads (watercooled or aircooled) to any aircooled VW engine? All that would need to match is the bore-spacings; the rest would be amatter of making it fit. I know BMW experimanted with DOHC heads for its twinboxers, but it wasn't workable because of resulting lack of cornering clearance. |
