And you're the king of horrible ideas so thats really saying alot.

Greg, I'm with Jeremy on this one. Subaru motors are put into VW's, but usually it's Vanagons since they are OBD-I and are already water cooled. I've seen many and have tinkered with a few. In your case just get another air-cooled motor and you'll be set. They're cheap and parts are readily available, oh and they're cheap and a novice can work on them
