hi guys i have a 72 bus i picked up for nothing needing some work done to the rear floor, now it has the later style rear end with a lowlight front end, what engine should i put in it? An upright or a pancake one?

If you have the larger engine bay, you can fit either.

so does that mean there are 70 more kombi questions????? lol


matt

probably easiest to match to what gearbox it has,ie 3 rib - 1600, 5 rib - 1800 ,6 rib - 2litre

DOES THE VAN HAVE ANY GEARBOX and a 72 is a very special year,it can fit without any alterations at all any of 3 motors fit 1600,1200.2 lit but not all gearboxes will mate to all engines,a 1600 motor will fit a 1800 but not a 2 lit as a matter of fact a 2 lit must use a 2 lit box .the best combernation is a 2 lit with 1800 heads and 2 lit gearbox,hope that helps a bit

ok, well iv got a 3 rib box from a 73 bus and an 1800 engine at home so will bolt them in and go from there

yep sounds like a plan
