I've really be wondering if any one has been able to put a 1.8t out of a newer VW into there aircooled? Could this be done and it still look stock?

Well, I remember seeing a Beetle with a Chevy 350, and they had done a pretty good job of hiding the radiator, so I imagine so, with a lot of creative fabrication...

well you can really put anything in a beetle with enough work, be it a buick v8 in back or a chevy v8 in the front, or 4x4 wheel drive. The possibilitys are endless if you're willing to get creative and possible make some concessions.

but if you're looking to stick it were the flat four goes now then i doubt it as the 1.8T will be too tall to go under the hood.
try a subaru engine as they do fit. with some work of course.
