Well then let me make this comment.
I picked up a windage tray today that was part of an engine in a box.
The engine was out of a 78 VW Bus / Westfalia.
Apparently the PO was going to build an engine and use the windage tray.
I got the heads which you know about and put them on E-bay. (They fit the
94mm barrels ok)
The rods looked good but I hesitated to buy them because they are
different that the rods in the CV series engines.
When we discussed oil fans following the crank / rod journals and keeping
the oil in the pan rather than slinging around the crank case. The
windage tray sounded like a reasonable Type IV addition that would
possibly lower operating temperature (if you're going to be in there
anyway).
At any rate its the first one I've seen as part of a VW engine.
