Firstly, consider yourself to be fortunate as 1972-1979 single or double cab buses are extremely rare in North America, since they were never imported here.
Secondly, you'll want to know what engine the truck had last. The original was more than likely a 1600 (upright), which is not typical on the 72 imported bus. Starting in 1972 the buses that came here had the type 4 motors (1700 pancake - 72 only). They were different so how your bus is set up will make a difference and getting the right engine will lessen the frustration of installing it.
Lastly, you will probably find the classified section on this site to be the best place to look for a motor.
Good luck! |

Something funny going on there, the VIN is for a standard microbus, yet you have a truck  From the metal surrounding the engine and the disc brakes I'll say it's really a 71 that someone's swapped VIN's on, be careful.

Something is not right. The decode says it is a 7 seater micro bus. When clearly it is a Truck?

Are you using the VIN off the Bus, or from the paperwork? That looks like a Euro spec or Canadian Single Cab. Paperwork shows Transporter.

Why would you speculate "Canadian"? I am under the impression North American was USA and Canada.

weird - it says "with wing in double cab door" farther down. It also mentions sliding door.

That M code description applies to multiple models, when on a bus it means vent in slider, but when on a doublecab it means vent in door, that M plate is for a stationwagon so disregard the truck stuff.

What is teh actual VIN for this vehicle? You don't have to give the whole thing -- just the first 4 digits will suffice to determine model and year. Check to see if the VIN on the dash matches the one on the M-code plate, and most importantly, the one in the engine compartment.

71/72 still have the vin stamped in the engine compartment right? To the right of the motor, just before the battery.
The original vin should start with a 26x. Also the butt looks round so my bet is for '71.

That's a 71, I can see the raised area where the number will be beside the battery just aft of the aircleaner, the number will start with 261, whatever numbers are up front are for a stationwagon, sketchy.
