That has got to be a LOT of fun. I've seen some WRX motors in them and they flew so im assuming that that van must be a blast!!!

Back in the day the Porsche Teams had trouble getting the mechanics to the track on time. They were using VW transporters to shuttle them to the various venues.
Their answer was to install a 6-cylinder Porsche motor where the flat 4 had been.
This would seem to be a natural progression from that.

LOL, I remember seeing an article in one of my old European Car mags about a guy who got sick of trying to pull his boat up hills in his VW Bus, so he transplanted a 911 Turbo 6 into it!
