TJ, that trans was used for a couple years only in the bus (I think from
72-75) and also in Squareback VWs (diff section is probably different but
auto section is 003).  I mounted a Vanagon 2.0l Air Cooled engine to it a
few months ago for a customer so I would assume that would mean that
waterboxers would also mount up.  Does it function well?  How much are you
going to be asking for it?
