I'm also an enthusiast of the old Volkswagens. I've already seen some folks retrofitting water-cooled EA-827 engines on them, but a hatch to access the valve cover from the inside is required. The radiator can be side-mounted like in the original Austin Mini. I'm considering to get a Kombi, and eventually I'll get a water-cooled engine if I didn't find an air-cooled Diesel with a decent power-to-weight ratio.
