the I5 fits an Audi type bell housing and bolt pattern ( not waterboxer
or diesel vanagon )
I had one for a while but sold it.

one thing of note about I5's in Vanagons ..
in Syncro Vangons there are known for being very rough on the transmission.,
and those transmissions ** need all the help they can get ** !
