ouch!! i had assumed that the fox had the same engine as the jetta in
those years.  but  after checking  the listing at
http://www.volkswagen.org/EngineSwap and  my Bently for my jettas i was
way off.  the fox stayed with its underpowered engines for its entire
time.  I am looking at moving a jetta RV engine rated at 100 hp.
mostly  for design challenge but i probably wont do it to my AC 82
westy.
