The bet on Beet's Bus purchase

[Beetleboi -Greg-]

Grrrrr

Ain't gonna work, two different animals nothing would match up.

:icon_eek: Half the busses out there have type 1 transplants. What wont match up?

Half the busses out there have type 1 transplants. What wont match up?

68 to 72 - type 1 upright fan shroud engine, no problem!

73 on - type 2 - 4 engine, pancake fanshroud, different tins, larger flywheel, different heating system & exhaust, 1.7, 1.8 or 2.0 cc engines, EFI

should I go on ?

You can have a type 1 transplant. My bus had it. Vw sold them  in Europe. For the later bays, you need a large tin to cover the difference. They cost anywhere from $ 250 to $ 400 for the tin.

you need a large tin to cover the difference.

To cover what difference?  c23

[rockdog2877]

the type4 was bigger. the tin is hard to come by.

 @7@ Thanks. That wont stop a transplant from working. Just keep it from dying a premature death from overheating. There's ways around that, you just cant enter it in the stock class

just make it a bus-a-ru and you will have no worries about power or heat, or AC for that matter :-)

The conversion on my bus was a leather type cover that covered the space. An exhaust leak plus oil leak did it in. But the type one does work/ fit.  If you don't expect much from it, it does the job.

48 to 50 HP vs. 75 +
swapping a t-1 into a t-2 is a no brainer, going from a lighter vehicle to a heavier one no wonder the engine died! VW did a smart thing by upgrading to the T-2 engines. Anything can be done but going backward makes no sense..

you gave the reason last page "type 2 & 4 parts are about 2 to 3xs the cost of type 1 parts. Beet not to diss your idea but Brady is right, pick a lemmon and you are going to loose big time."

that's why people do it "cost" I could have thrown an upright in my bus, but I wanted to do it the right way.
He could even pull his bug motor and drop it in the bus,

i think once again we have strayed off topic can we get back to the part about the pretzels.  i had a pretzel once in Burlington VT from a little hippy chick with a grill and it changed my life.

Ok, even though there are grills at the park, I'm not dressing up in a hippie chick outfit.  BO**
