Okay... Continuing this discussion, Let's say I have a '96 2.0 ABA
from a Jetta that I want to bolt it into an '84 Adventurewagen.

Questions:

1.) fuel system? Digifant, right? Go scare up an '86 or later Vanagon
and take it all? ECU, AFM, injectors, distributor and? Or do I snag
the Jetta stuff? (The Jetta was junked because of immobilizer
problems. A couple years ago.  Don't know how much is left/missing.)
2.) Carrier bars?  Late ones, right? The '82 bars won't work with the
wasserboxer gear box? Positions motor 50 mm too far aft? Does that
mean I need the entire post-82 engine carrier system?
3.) air filter. What to use? I seem to remember Dodge Caravan, but
that might have been for adding a diesel. K&N is not an option in my
world.
4.) clutch and flywheel? V'gon diesel?

More questions to come I'm sure as we get closer to committing.
