As far as I know that engine was used *only* in the Vanagon and may be configured to bolt up to the 091 gearbox with a 228mm clutch like a wasserboxer. Looking in Haynes (A copy of which I wish I had, but don't) should clear this up.

Also, does anyone know if those 1600cc Vanagon cases are made of Aluminum or Magnesium?
