I really have no idea how much Apfelbeck did with VW (or even if at all)
I have just been following the progress of that particular website/engine with interest.

anymore info on this bizare looking motor?

gears

Around 1988, I spent a couple days with Bob Denson who had made an air-cooled 4-cylinder alcohol engine similar to the OP's engine. Quite impressive for a small shop. (I was contemplating having Bob produce VW rods for me.)

I hadn't realized until my web search this morning how involved Bob had been in John Britten's motorcycle development. Not VW-related, but John's is a VERY worthwhile (and tear-jerking) story:
