There is quite a lot you can do to the Type 2 engine or even drop a Porsche 911 2.7 SC engine in there.
Good luck with the mods.

Bought it as a wedding present for the missus. Seen some with an Impreza engine in, but will stick with the aircooled one for now.

Aww you big sortie.
The Porsche 2.7 engine is air cooled and fairly easy to do from memories of my V Dub days.

There is a place on Brackla Industrial Estate that does Vee Dub vans. "Wide" is getting side windows put in his T4. It may be worth a look

They may be able to help.
