Chopstix — So tell us what were looking at. You're not very careful with the annotations.

I don't get any details on most of these pictures. I just get them on a social media feed that is for the most part just the images. But that image looks like someone tried to make a regular beetle look like a Steyr.

I still consider a motorcycle engine swap as a viable alternative for an old Volkswagen, or even for a newer car such as a Subaru. Even though Harley-Davidson engines are not so great at all, mounting one that way to fit into a car might actually lead to a more homogeneous cooling (as long as there is an electric fan to keep the air flow when the car is stopped or in slow traffic). Moto Guzzi is cool, but not officially available in my country.

I did a lot of reading on this swap tonight. The problem is that the adapters do not support the cycle engines output shaft bearings where it connects to the VW transaxle. So most of the manufacturers of the adapters have stopped making them from the engine bearing failures. There's only two brands officially still in production. (that I found) But they won't sell just the adapter, they want to sell you one of their trikes. So for now the bike engine swap is not completely viable, when the consumer (me!) can't buy just the adapter.
