Ken, That should be the JH motor, also used in the '83-'84 gti. the engine # is
stamped on the block above and to the left of the distributor. the first two
letters will tell you what it is. go to volkswagen.org's vanagon engine swap q & a
for more info. I just finished the same swap, if  you have any questions feel free
to ask.
