interestingly enough, the customizing firm of Oettinger (also known as
OKRASA ... the folks who built the 6-cylinder engine for the vanagon)
did exactly that: put the 4-cylinder wasserboxer (vanagon water-cooled)
engine into a beetle. the picture i saw made it look as if it had been
designed with the beetle in mind.  makes you wonder sometimes about what
