  Try asking over on this list for the type conversion you are doing.

   Short answer:  There really is no one source to tell you just everything
you know for the ABA inline conversion.  It is pretty basic but there are
some variations, too many to simply say..."You need this and this and
this...... then you are done..."   If I did it without many false starts,
as an almost engine rookie,  almost anyone can do it...

   I used the timing belt cover from my 1.8 liter inline when I combined it
with the ABA block in my conversion.  Had to do a little modifying, but it
works.  Techtonic's Tuning has some good information on their site and they
also supply lots of inline VW parts...Look for the Tech Tips page..
