Yeah, the Doka looks like he's running a KEP adapter plate. The KEP plates angle at about the same as a transverse setup, so you don't have to change anything on the engine if you swap in an engine you pull out of a golf or therabouts.
What I'd like to know is what he did for his accelerator pedal, as he would have had to mount the electric pedal assembly as well as run a really long wire extension. Add that to the pain of disabling/hiding the immobilizer, so props to him for making it all work. There's a guy in the local Madison VW cruisers club with a baja bug running an ALH; his ECM and gauge cluster are hidden in a box.
i will definitely be taking more pics, and asking lots of questions, next time i see the green TDI powered double cab..
