Because sometimes you can’t just easily find a flat engine when you’re on a shoe string budget.
Speaking as somebody who is making a bug truck as we speak. However if somebody wants to donate a type 3 engine to me I’ll gladly fork over my details if it bothers you guys so much

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
