Hopefully that motor works out for ya. If its gots exhaust and shit you'll be in good shape.
I recommend taking that fuel tank out and replacing the filler hose and all other lines. before you put engine in. I wish i would have done it. my bus smell like gas, it sucks.
Good luck and great progress so far! Pics! :beer:

Good advice for sure it will be done! Pics will be up when Matt gets them. I'll have more this weekend hopefully - looks like a killer weekend for weather.

Picked up a T4 motor this Saturday. Also stopped at MIG to visit with Brandon, then took a drive out to the Dub Ranch and hung out with Trevor, Kevin and one of Trev's buddies who has a sweet BMW bike. then went and picked up the motor from a fellow VW Bus owner who was also a very cool guy. It was a great day :thumbsup:

A bunch of parts to bolt back on:

Tins and heat exchanger parts:

Overall the motor is in good visible shape - I'll do a compression test after I get it assembled again, because it was a running motor before the PO did a motor swap in his bus. The only part I can see that is missing is an intake runner with the injectors :confused: Not sure why only one set is missing, but it should be easy to find a replacement. That's it for now.

Thanks guys, I think the thermo is there under cyl 1&2 but the cable is broken and twisted around, I'll have to double check it. Yep, no mustache bar :laughing: but I think I can score one at the junkyard. One of the yards here has a couple of bay windows that I am going to scavenge parts from, but I want to take a 1/2 day off from work and make it a one trip deal.

The goal here is to swap this 2.0L FI into my '72 Deluxe and use the entire FI system. I know it's been done, but if anyone has any advice I am listening.

A couple of updates:

I picked up another set of intake runners/injectors and a passengers side mirror from fellow Samba members.

Also, a VW/Porsche 3 arm yoke adapter from VintageWorldTools and an engine stand from Harbor Freight and I will be ready to get this motor up in the stand, clean it up, get the tins back on and get it ready to swap in.

I need a 210mm flywheel and clutch kit (from a 1700) so if anyone has anything please let me know.
