Folks, I've been wondering what mods would be required to fit a VW engine in my 1600R. Has anyone done it? Is it worth it?

What engine are you running in it currently?

Its not really suggested as you would need to build a 1550V Fuselage for it in order to handle the weight of the engine and the W&B.
