Subject:      Identify the mystery I4 engine and WIN!!!!!

Hi,
    Just went to see a 50 degree I4 conversion which had been removed from
a diesel van. The engine type,age/mileage etc. are unknown because the
conversion was done by a PO.
    As is the engine is a VW 1.8 I4 with a modified intake manifold with a
weber carb on it, nicely done. The injector holes have been plugged, but
look undamaged, as do a couple of other plugged ports.  The head has the
following labels
                   93             VWO           H Germany
               026103373G
   The distributor has points, there are no A/C or power steering pumps
mounted.
    I'm embarrassed to admit that except for noting '1.8' on the block, I
forgot to look around for other numbers there. If they're essential the
owner is a nice guy and a fellow listee and I can bug him for them.
    I'm in California, so I'd have to convert back to FI. Any ideas on
engine type, age and compatible fuel injection systems? Would I need to
convert the distributor too? Hmmmmm....
                           Thanks!                  Sam
