Hi Ken. Is the Eurospec engine mount angle 22ยบ or ? Not the same thing, but I've had no issues using a WBX on my inline ABA gas swap; the gearing is fine and not too dissimilar to the air cooled transaxle i was running. The Eurospec puts the transaxle further forward? (to OEM diesel engine position) Or does the shorter nose mount compensate for clutch housing length difference? Neil.
