has anyone done a Type 4 Conversion and left the engine flat? instead of getting an upright kit.

in a few weeks i should be getting a Type 4 engine and instead of forking out for the upright kit i have been thinking of keeping it as a flat engine......it will look kinda stupid but that doesnt really matter. a mate up the road said he ran a type 4 in a buggie as a flat engine for years and it was fine it just looked stupid. by the way the reason behind this is to save the money that the kit would cost. as i dont have alot of dough. whats everyones opinions?🙂

mate as stated further up the post although many people are happy with their jap conversions it is something i dont want to do.......i have an EA82 1800 subie engine right here i could use but i dont want to use it in my baja. i want an aircooled VW motor.....hence Type 4 2 litre.
