See above. The rear engine carrier can be bought from VW in South Africa.
same can be said for the correct bellhousing. Some folks are very
apprehensive about buying from Vanamania but I know they have replicas of
the SA 5-cyl rear engine carriers. I am not endorsing a particular vendor.
Just want to present the availability of the parts as I saw in person.
IIRC, the 5-cyl's are mounted at 23.5° vs. 50° for the 4-cyls. That also
means the rear deck will need to be taller unless you modify the intake
manifold as I had seen folks like Detlev Hanschke (Livermore, California)
has done.
Overland Parts, Inc. still has some of their 5-cyl conversion kits available
but pricey for sure because the parts such as the engine are new (vs. used).
If you are not in California, they offer a kit w/ the SA induction system &
Cali exhausts for nearly half the price. The Cali kits require replacement
of induction system from a California certified system from a Eurovan or s
something similar from what I was told. Again, this is not an endorsement of
the vendor or product. See your OPI dealer for further info. Details at:
