Yep, Done it! VW54 hit it on the head.

Just to let you know. Big motors in little 54 body is a pain in the arse.

yep if yr fitting a 1600 or bigger engine to the early body shell you will have to cut a bit of body work away
and shave to top of the R/H side heater box to clear the fire wall

Or a big Type 4 motor-they fit with no worries.
