it's generally the Audi 5 cylinder.
There is a bell housing from South Africa that makes it a bolt-up to the
Vanagon tranaxle.
I'm not that 'up' on the fives....could be the same basic block that
comes in a93 Eurovan.
I own one. .my first ever 5.
FS btw, the whole MV poptop, manual 5-spd trans, Eurovan. Running even.
