Way too much time (and a jag V12) on his hands!
While this isn't a VW, it is an aircooled to watercooled conversion: V12 jag into a corvair!
Enjoy:

No kidding! Note that he reverses our normal conversions by putting the engine in front and the cooling system in the rear, including a very "VW"
looking cooling fan setup run off the front of the Tempest transaxle. Since he is running an engine-driven fan he can get away without ram-air
cooling.
