83 diesel into 84 Vanagon
Any advice on this conversion would be appreciated.


I have replaced the oil pump and oil pan and would like to
test the motor before installation.
1) Is there a fuel cutoff solenoid? where? Does 12V+ open
it?


2) Proposed test procedure: engine mated to diesel vanagon
bellhousing, and/or Rabbitt tranny & starter, 12V, fuel
supply  - any other connections or steps needed?


When installing into vanagon:
3) How can you tell the 82 from the 83 engine carriers - it
appears we may have one set of each?
4) Is there a preference, 82 over 83?
Any modifications needed? tranny, engine mounts etc?
5) Besides the starter and alternator what electrical
connections are required, is there a convenient wire
(ignition/coil) that can be used for a fuel cutoff  if
present?
6) Glow plug - I plan to install a dash mounted push
button.


Thanks.........JoE & Paul
