it's generally the Audi 5 cylinder. There is a bell housing from South Africa that makes it a bolt-up to the Vanagon tranaxle. I'm not that 'up' on the fives....could be the same basic block that comes in a93 Eurovan. I own one. .my first ever 5. FS btw, the whole MV poptop, manual 5-spd trans, Eurovan. Running even. scott turbovans On 11/28/2012 10:04 AM, Dave Mcneely wrote: > It has a five cylinder? Early Eurovans had five cylinder engines.
