Forgive having insulted your knowledge of VW's. I didn't think about that before. What cars did VW make in the early 80's that could hold the 6? The quantum? I know that engine swaps from A3 to A2 golf/jetta chassis are common, as well as A2 to A1 chassis. It seems as if A3-B1 would be difficult, but you might want to find a junkyard with a rare B1 chassis, a 240 chassis, and an A3 chassis, and see what the dimensions are. If you can figure all that out, I guess it would be possible to fit.
