When I was looking at various conversions an importer got a hold of the
parts list for a mexican bus.  The radiator was an audi part.  The engine
was a rabbit engine tilted.  The audi radiator was from the audi where the
radiator is to  one side and not on the center of the vehicle. Smaller but
thicker than the normal radiator normally used on other vw audi with the
same style engine.
