. >as far as swappin the lame waterboxer for the more reliable audi engine, yes, >you can do it with a SA bellhousing.... I'm sorry, I forgot who it was that lived in South Africa, Luke maybe? Anyway, I would like more info about getting an SA bellhousing for a 4 cyl golf motor to a manual trans. Do you have access to this part and how much would it cost? Also, does this put the motor at the 50 degree angle found on the vanagon diesels? I assume the SA bellhousing would bolt up to a standard gas transaxle? Would the input shaft have to be changed? Sorry for so many questions, jus wanna get my Vanagon rolling.... Thanks, PSD. |
