What is the bolt in swap for a watercooled inline VW motor. Steve

Check out the options:

new 2.0 L kit, bolt in solution, but expensive -- I think its a 2.0L Jetta engine. Its the same engine that "Caravelle's" (Vanogon by another name) have in South Africa.

Here is a guy who put a chevy V6 in a Baywindow bus -- guys, check out the spare tire up front -- ingenious!

How about a GTI engine? With a Diesel, you can swap the oilpan and a few other key components to lay a rabbit engine on its side back there. Check this out:

Or Better yet, a VR6 engine:

Goodluck.

I think you're already set up for the inline 4 water cooled physically - just the electrics and fuel stuff.

Course, if I had unlimited time and money (who does) I'd swap in the TDI and have the ultimate van (IMHO). Good luck!

There's also this company which does just that TDI 4 and 5 cyls
