 |
|
I am curious, When the Bay Window bus went from the type1 engine to the type 4/pancake engine, did the engine compartment get shorter? Or is it the same height?
Is there a big difference between the two?
I am curious, as I think my next bug project will be a bus.
Thanks,
matt

It changed for the 1972 model (August 1971). In Europe, both engines were available with the Type I being standard and the Type IV being optional so yes, both engines fit perfectly well given that you have the appropriate engine support bar and tinware. One company sells fiberglass "tinware" to let you install the earlier engine if you wish.
