does a type4 1800 fit a 1500 type 1 gear box" baja"

i want more power for my baja and need a motor quick.
a 1800 is up forsale does this fit onto a 1500 gearbox

come on someone must know in this world of volkswagens

i know that an 1800 fits a 1600 box cause thats what i use in chaos

what do u mean by chaos "good or bad"?

its the name of the car im rebuilding

im not 100% sure but i think you will have to shave the bell housing a fraction (using dremel or similar) to fit the flywheel in

hmmmm sounds like its do able but id love to know for sure before i do it

You will need to grind down the bell housing to enable the flywheel to fit inside - this I know for sure.

I believe that you may have to make other mods to the throw out bearing 'system' but I can't remember.....I will ask my Brother next time I see him as he has run Type IV engines in his bugs (a '67 and a '65 Baja) for years, and has done the mod for other people too.....

What cooling system are you planning on using?

You need that little bush that goes in the fly wheel and the little tube that the bearring slides out on, most late swingers had them and the stuff the ross said
