June 8, 200520 yr Just as the subject line says, I scored a 74 VW trasnporter with a EA-82 engine bolted to a kennedy adapter already in it. I have been planning on subifying one of my Westfalias for years now, and now I have the oppourtunity. The best thing... I only spent $300 for the whole shebang. The bus is just about rust free and the adapter alone would cost me $550. Of course I had to drive the 6 hiurs one way to get it and trailer it back, but that was little worry. In the next weeke or two I plan on pulling the engine out of it and the adapter and then selling the transporter body. I will take pics then. Regards, Mark
June 25, 200520 yr Sounds like a great score! I am a bit curious about the EA-82 in the back end, did the guy have to cut/bang/shoehorn it in? I suppose since it had a type4 motor in it, it may have had moree room than a type2 bus. Also interested in how the radiator was mounted, front or back, and did it have any cooling problems??? Pics would be way cool Cheers, Chris
