I had to machine sections of useless crap off the sides of the engine block to not destroy the ground-effects tunnels of the chassis, and the starter operated with a twin u-jointed shaft from it's mount point on the FRONT of the engine! I no longer own the machine shop, but my ex-partner and I have remained close friends.

I wonder if the Subaru 3 lite six would fit. I think this makes about 240 HP or more stock?

Might as well go with one of the 2.5 turbo motors. Easy hp, huge aftermarket. I bet Renegade could be of some assistance.

I just got back from signing over the title. I'm back to being a VW guy, the difference bing that I used to be a VW guy with aspirations of being a Porsche guy, and now I'm just a VW guy.
Best of luck to you all - I hope your cars treat you better than mine did. Thanks for your input.
Time for a new hobby - I'm going mountain bike shopping.

Exactly what we are talking about. 3.0 boxer 6, 2.5 turbo boxer 4 AND Subaru is now geting ready to come out with a boxer 6 DIESEL. How about that with a turbo and maybe some help from Banks????????? Can you say mega torque turbo-diesel 6 spd? Can you say Boxster R-10?
