Do I catch a bit of sarcasm here?

Well, the 5 cyl. engines fits, so your good length wise. The
Audi V6 fits
too, so you're good in the width, too. I guess that if it
doesn't fit, one
can always make it fit, right? The exhaust can be dragged
forward, and exit
in a couple of fat chromed sidepipes.

Btw, has anybody ever thought of shoe-horning in the V8 from
Audi? This
should be one heck of an engine in the Vanagon, and you'd still
be all
VW/Audi for the few times you'll let the mechanic touch your
baby. There is
a TDI V8 coming in very short time.......
