Subject:      VW Bus - still thinking about it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the '78 the best year for the late type II's (I know that's hard to say without comment). I say that based on the availablility of the 2.0 engine during these years. I understand that the hydraulic lifters are a benefit as well the exhaust system (which is still fairly easy to find vs. the '79 version). I'm assuming that the version of automatic transmission used was improved from the first version a few years previous (just a guess). I have been told that the fuel injection on the later models is also a benefit over the earlier buses. If these are points of debate, please let me know (as well as any other suggestions you may have). Around here buses are hard enough to come by and I want to make sure I get the best year I can.

Thanks!!
