        I don't see why it wouldn't, the 16v wasn't a very dirty engine...

        On the other hand, at least in California, there are NO emission
        requirements on a stock 1969 VW TypeII.

        As I've pointed out in the past, the California regs are very
        restrictive. I wonder if Detlev has actually dealt with this issue
        regarding his Audi 5cyl swap? The Eurospec 2.0 I-4, on the third
        hand, has California Air Resources Board certification...
