Eg33 in vanagon?

There is a svx part guy near me who is putting the EG33 into VW Vanagons, it looks hella cool and is pretty intriguing what they are doing, 90 hp to 230 hp. One of the craziest things ive ever seen.

I'll be doing that someday, when I have more money I already have the vanagon and engines, gotta rebuild an eg33 out of the 2 damaged engines I have, and a 2.2l for my camper vanagon...

I might use a porsche transaxle for a better gear ratio, 140hp is perfect in a vanagon, but 230 isn't bad either
