I am buying a '67 deluxe with no engine. I have a fresh 1776 with a 12 volt flywheel from a Beetle. Do any modifications need to be made to bolt it in the bus. I'm new to type IIs. Please help.

The only thing that may need changing would be the air filter. If you've got a stock Beetle air filter on that 1776, then you'll have to get either an aftermarket one or a stock bus air filter. Good luck with the bus.

Just to add some more info to this, '67 was the first year for a bus to be 12v. This also means that you have a 12v tranny which makes it easy to accept 12v flywheels. No cutting involved like you have to do with a 6v tranny.
