Can the VW watercooled engines used in the GTI and Scirocco (especially the upcoming 16-valve versions) be mounted longtitudinally and fitted with a conventional gearbox for front-engine/rear-wheel drive? Is there anything inherently different in the block to prevent this, or would it be possible if the appopriate transmission existed? Gibt's vielleicht so was jenseits des grossen Ponds?
