Kennedy makes adaptors to go from the aircooled tranny to h2o cooled vw 
engines.  The neat feature of the Sammy tranny is that it is a divorced 
transfer case.  So if you want a rwd car with a vw diesel there is your 
engine/tranny combo.  Old aircooled irs floorpan and suspension with a 
vw diesel engine, 5 speed sammy tranny and rear axle out of a 4wd 
subaru.  A little bit of tin bending and welding and wrap it up in an 
old t bucket body or lotus seven, maybe use a legends willy's body for a 
different hot rod.  An economical to run jalopy, with independant 
suspension at all 4 corners, built in the old school traditon.
