All- If anyone has been paying attention ... I 'bought' an 82 humpty dumpty van. I got it back together enough to see if I could get it to fire and yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus ... with no exhaust on it ... man, it was loud! Neighbors *love* me. ;) Looked at how the exhaust connects and realized the buffoon PO tried to swap an early type2 head on there - so, the vanagon exhaust will not connect. So, I'm going to take a chance on a junkyard head ... 1. Is there a right-left difference in the heads? 2. What should I look for in a junk-yard special? 3. Can I swap the head w/out dropping the engine? No, I don't have a Bentley, yet. Have a hard time spending as much as for manuals as I'll have spent on the van ...
