Get off the crack man!  You can do anything with enough modification. I would not reccomend it. You could convert it to a T1 motor then get the T1 to T4 conersion tin and put it in your bus that way.

The mounts are different, the flywheel is most likely different and, for that matter, why would you want to? The bottom end of a type IV motor is better build than a type I style. The cooling is better and overall torque is usually better. I've seen people go the other way and put a type IV motor in a type III, but man you must be on crack or something. You gotta be careful what you do to your vehicles. This guy i know put a type IV motor straight into a ghia without converting, just cutting, and the extra weight caused the front of the car to loose traction over 110 km/h. Most VWs are made the way they are for a reason.

| I'm not on crack. I just assumed since the type 1 motor fits and works in a ghia, a split window, and a bug, that perhaps the pancake motor would be compatable with the bay window, and the type 3. I didn't do it or anythign I'm just asking questions... |

EffinGo, you have much bigger problems to worry about! Like that damn raccoon gnawing on your sinus cavity there in the photo! The coon is the one smoking all the crack. What's that all about? I think I've been traumatized.

Hypathetically, it probably could be done, but i don't know anyone on enough crack to actually try it. I've seen type 3s with the type 4 motors in them and they don't appear to be cut. Going the otherway, just make sure your bus has the earlier style 5 rib bellhousing on it and it should bolt on. we have a type 4 motor in the back of our 1970 truck, but we used the rear section from a 76 van (from gas tank back) and installed the overhead hatch on it.
