The very early Dodge Omnis / Plymouth Horizons used the entire VW engine and transaxle, though for some reason this was not promoted. Later they had Mitsu and then Chrysler power, right? I am digging far back into the sands of time here, so I may be like Wile E. Coyote, confusibus maxiumus.

I'm also fairly positive, in fact quite sure that all the 356 engine variants were of Porsche design and construction, though were somewhat similar to VW T1 engine designs.>> You are correct. My previous arguments referred to the vertical fan fours which do resemble VWs externally. BTW, which American car used the Audi/924 block? 924 owners are still trying to live that down.
