Information we got from Wouter, South Africa: The number on the bellhousing Wouter's has (Audi 2.3 5 cyl to Vanagon 4 speed box) is BCY 301103. But the guys down at the local VW agents say BCY 301107A is the right part. Special price, just for you :-) is R509, ex VAT, so say R580-ish, so about =24150. This bellhousing fits to every AUDI gasoline 5 Cylinder, Diesel I don't know and is to be checked one time. I also know, that someone did a conversion to the Rabbit or Jetta 2L. Also a conversion to the VW VR6 is possible. Are the T2 and T3 trannies of same kind? The T3 tranny will fit the Bug.

I know about the South African use of Audi motors in Vanagons, but how does the engine mounting compare with, say, a 1600 rabbit motor? I saw a clean installation of a rabbit motor in a 76 Bus at BBTA and Weddle Engineering sells Vanagon Diesel bellhousings used for =2415 (I hope it's not a typo). Engine heighth is not= a great concern, the vehicle's already ben butchered up quite a bit. 8-( I have a pet project where I am hoping to H2o a previously air-headed VW just for the heck of it. I may go the 16v VW route, but the possiblity of using an Audi 5 cyl intriguing, esp. a turbo motor. 8-) =7E Jon Christensen /V=5C Membership Coordinator for the =7ECertified VW Nut =5CW/ Vintage VW Club of America vvwca=40primenet.com Co-Editor of the VVWCA Newsletter http://members.gnn.com/vvwca KC Kombis' NEATO Co-Rep
