If the "Type 2" heads came off a North American Bus from 72 to 82 they can fit. A Type 3 motor was just a different version of the Type 1 motor (The Bug Motor). These heads would not be easy to fit on a Type 4 engine. |

If the heads are from an American model T2, '71 and earlier, then no, those heads will not fit. The heads on the Type 4 are much larger, the pistons are farther apart, the head studs have a larger pattern, and none of the T2/3 accessories will bolt up (intake, exhaust, cooling, etc.).
If the Type 2 heads are from an '72-'79 Bus, or '80-'83 2.0 Vanagon, the heads will bolt up. There are differences, like valve sizes and exhaust ports, so they must be installed in pairs to assure you have a matched set.
Check out my "Type 4: Secrets Revealed" web site for more information on the Type 4 engine.
