Quick question: Are the Type-IV engines used in the 411 and 412 cars EXACTLY the same as those used in the '72-up busses? I have a '72 T-III, and have access to some old T-IV engines (from busses) and was wondering if I could just swap the engines over (w/ computers) to get an oil filter, more durability, and possibly 2000 ccs. I know the engines are more expensive, but the 50% more that rebuilding a 2 litre engine over the 1600 that is in there now would be worth it. Plus, the T-IV engines look pretty complete. Are the cases the same for the 2000cc as 1600 T-IV, and only the jugs and heads change?
