My brother is about to remove the water cooled unit from his VW 
Transporter (it's on its way out and is too expensive to replace) and 
stick in a second-hand air cooled unit.

He is a bit miffed about moving down to a 1600cc unit, but its a lot
cheaper than a replacement water cooled engine.

Has anybody any ideas what problems he might hit before he gets
started??
