I will try to explain the title of this topic.
I have a EA82 engine in my bug.
I have an adapterplate between the engine and the gearbox of the VW.
Are there more engines that I can mount into the bug without changing the adapterplate?
I know that VW has lots of different engines that fits onto the same gearbox.
Maybe that other subaru engines fits on a EA82 gearbox..

EA81 is about it...

All downgrades from what you have.

ER27 or EA82t

He has the EA82T.

I did forget about the ER27 though, but it's probably a little large in size for your application. There's probably a Porsche motor that would be an easier fit in the bug that you could no doubt pick up cheaper considering your location

Considering how badly keeping your adaptor plate limits your engine choice and how cheap they are to make I would say it would be well worth changing it.
