Subject:'85 1.9L into an 84?
From:John Schaper
Date:Mon, 9 Dec 2002 07:37:01 -0800

My 85 van with 500 miles on a new engine  was wrecked by a big wheeler and I
have an opportunity to buy an 84 Wolfsburg for $1500.  My question is can
the 85 1.9L be dropped into the 84 without any special
problems/accomodations.  It looks like the same engine, but I wonder about
the ECU, electric considerations, etc.  Oh, and if possible, I would drop
the 85 1.9L along with the transmission, since it is less than a year  new,
too.
