not that i'm aware of.....but of course it "can be done" 
once the longitudinal (BHW) vs. transverse (CJAA) hurdle is cleared, i'm sure the rest is not too hard.
there is a company, Boxeer, that has a kit to mount CR diesels into VW vanagons longitudinally.
might be worth looking @ their kit and some threads over @ thesamba.com.
people also mount ALH, 1Z, BHW, etc into all kinds of conversions, i'm sure you know.
let us know what you find out!

You can get all the parts to make the CJAA longitudinal from Europe.

I was thinking that I'd have to go to the other side of the pond to do it, in the mean time the car i was looking at turned out to be trashed body wise , so i have to keep looking. Need a good body otherwise its not worth doing,
