If you please would follow this link:
http://www.koeln.netsurf.de/~Martin.Schulte/vw_bus/t3_tech/tech_f.htm
click on "die Motoren" on the left, and you will see a chart of all the
engines offered in the t-3, on the bottom, he has listed some SA engines,
and at the bottom, there it is. If you can explain this, it would really be
great.
Click on "die Getriebe", and you'll get a chart of all gearboxes, albeit
without the final drive ratio!
