I have a huge favor to ask, and I'm going on blind faith on some of this.
 I'm going up to Wisconsin in a couple of weeks to pick up the afore
mentioned '82 Westfalia.  The engine in it now is a diesel, was rebuilt
about a year ago and was originally out of a Rabbit.  That's all I know
about the engine.  Here's the kicker, the starter went out a couple of
months ago and the thing hasn't moved.  My friend who currently owns it is
the farthest thing from mechanically inclined and knows nothing about it
mechanically.  Now that I've rattled on here's the question, how many
different diesel engines would fit the West and a Rabbit?  I don't want to
go up there armed with 53 different starters, unless I have to, and I don't
want to wait to get up there to buy the starter because I don't know how
hard it will be to get.  Anyway any help at all is appreciated, I'm a
pretty decent mechanic but this will be my first VW experience.  Thanks to
everyone.
