I have been looking at the TIICO 2L Golf Motronic engine conversion for the
83.5-91 Vanagons. I have a 80 Westy. Besides the fact that I would have to
put in a radiator and hoses to the front of vehicle and maybe a alternator
w/mount. I do not see why this would not work in the older Vanagons like
mine. Does anyone have in-depth knowledge of the differences between the
model years? For example, is the engine compartment the same size? would the
trany have to be traded for a wasserboxer trany? If so are they compatible?

My main concerns are will it fit without modifying the engine compartment
lid and if it will then what other parts will I then have to trade out from
a wasserboxer.

I know this could get expensive but I want my van to eventually be around
for a long time.
