John,

My recently acquire LT35 has an Audi 2.0 inline-4 with a Solex carb. Said
engine also accepts a Weber 34 ICT carb. This is essentially a slightly
bigger displacement engine found on the early Rabbits (A1's). It's the same
basic motor found in the early Audi 100LS and early 924. Grab one, and bolt
a Rabbit carb system if you don't want fuel injection. Heck, I'll be yaking
out the one out of my LT as soon as budget allows for an engine swap. Pmail
me if you are not in a hurry. BTW, I'm getting 20mpg in an LT panelvan with
this engine.

I used to own a T25 Singlecab (Vanagon type) with an inline-4 with a Weber
carb. Not sure if it was a stock manifold though. I just recall that it was
harder to start on cold mornings compared to the CIS-E inline-4 in my other
Vanagons.
