This is very true. I don't see how you could ever fit a VW engine in there and still use a CVT. I am in the process of installing a Kubota D722-TE turbo in mine and I had to modify the main frame on the passenger side. I boxed it out with 2" square tubing out to the side rail and had to cut out the original round tube frame rail for it to fit length wise. I can post pics when I get home. And to get it to fit height wise I had to do a 12" suspension lift dropping the front of the swing arm and the rear shock mounts.
