Appreciate any help, any other major part interchangable >> the '79 is the 2.0L just like the vanagon - but it has a different alternator setup, different cooling fan ducting, different engine tin, etc. doable - but it's not just a bolt in thing. FYI, i have two good 2.0L aircooled vanagon motors for sale, if your interested. chris allentown, pa |
