What engine is this?

Any know what engine this is? The valve covers scream VW, but I don't recognize the intake. Air cooled or water? The description is very misleading.

Where's the fan? Odd place for an alternator.

Seriously - a tractor engine?

Got it - surprised to see such a troublesome motor in a repro Spyder.

Duh... and only one of us noticed it had no shrouding tin! Fine bunch of air heads we are.

Wasserboxers are horrid engines! They typically blow head gaskets at 60k miles...

N!
