I just crawled out from under my van -- the '81 2 liter I'm putting in
it doesn't seem to fit. Oh, it goes in, the tran shaft meshes with the
clutch splines, etc. Then when I try to tighten up the four mounting
bolts, and it gets down to the last 1/2", something is binding. I've
done many a transplant -- but nothing with this new an engine. What it
reminds me of is when I tried to put a 1600cc in a 1200cc bug. The
flywheel was just a bit too big, and you had to grind out the inside
of the transaxle clutch housing --- is that what the problem is here?
Does anyone know if they made the flywheel bigger between the 1700cc
and the '81 2000cc??? I hate to pull it all out to look.
   Or is there some other difference I'm missing? Surely someone has
done this before. Please e-mail me as I read the list on the web.
