Ken, That should be the JH motor, also used in the '83-'84 gti. the engine # is stamped on the block above and to the left of the distributor. the first two letters will tell you what it is. go to volkswagen.org's vanagon engine swap q & a for more info. I just finished the same swap, if you have any questions feel free to ask. Don KENWILFY wrote: > I found a '85 Sciroco today with less than 100k miles but some rear end > damage.
