Has anybody installed this motor into a Vanagon? > Scott Foss, of Sausalito, Calif., has installed the 1.9 TD block in his Vanagon. He used the 1.6 TD head and injector pump, I think. The 1.9 block is a little bit taller so he had to lower his engine and transmission about 0.75 inches to make everything fit. He said the block takes a different vacuum pump drive and he had trouble getting one that would work with his old vac. pump. He also had trouble getting engine sheet metal to fit. Mike
