VW Adapter Kit
swapping out the transmission? surely u don't think this is a kit to swap a vw trans into a 7. this kit allows the rotary to be used in the older vw bugs, dune buggies and sand rails.

Very true. My brother bought a S5 TII motor with the kit. The shop that he bought it from was transplanting the engine in a sand rail. Needless to say we sold the kit and continued with the fb heart transplant.
