Engine switch

Hi,



I was wondering if a diesel rabbit engine fits into a Karmann Ghia? If so do any major modifications have to happen?



Thanks,



Josef


Thinking that one would have to find a way to fit a radiator in there??? And, thinking there's the whole transaxle thing (the air cooled machines are longitudinal not transverse like the Bunny).... I can't think of one mod that >>>wouldn't

Well, he could try to cobble something up with some Diesel Vanagon bits... then the radiator would be the hardest part... I'm thinking the hood would end up looking like a GT-40 with a consequential detrimental effect on trunk space :/

Anything is possible with enough $$$$! But why would you want to?

I forgot about the air/water cooled problem.

Thanks,
