It is the name that Subaru uses to describe the horizontally opposed engines used in their cars. That is, instead of a vee configuration used on must 6 and 8 cylinder cars, or an in-line as used on most 4 cylinders, the Subaru 4 cylinder engines have the cylinders lying flat, two on each side of the crankshaft. --Ken

Yes, a Vanagon water-boxer engine can be replaced with an air-cooled VW engine, but it requires significant modifications.
