The point is to be able to switch between 4 cylinders and 2, depending on the power required, not just make a big two cylinder engine. I looked at Harley to VW transaxle conversions, but they are fairly expensive, and with most engines, vibrate excessively. I have figured out the major hurdles of making a variable displacement VW engine, just need to get the basic car to get the baseline performance figures.
