January 21, 200620 yr If you can put a 2.2 in a Vanagon, whats stopping me from putting a 2.2 into a VW Bug? -Brian
January 22, 200620 yr Bugs are air cooled, most vanagons are water cooled (I think 83 or 84 was the last year for air cooled vanagons) so the logistics of putting a water cooled engine in is a lot easier (Although it can be done in a bug)
January 23, 200620 yr Lots of ingenius people out there have done it. Its not impossible the big difference in the conversions is that theres a HUGE aftermarket for the air cooled bug engine, such that doing the ej22 isnt as much of a no brainer as a Vanagon conversion.
January 23, 200620 yr Wasn't there someone here that did that? he needed to shorten the oil pan, but he got it to fit, and he said it pooped and git like a bat out of heck
January 23, 200620 yr "Snotrocket" was his handle but he changed it to something else and I cant remember what.
February 4, 200620 yr this is gunna sound silly but what is a vanagon?? Some times called "Jokers" in England, also called Samba's in Africa. VW flat nosed cab forward van with rear engine. From '80's to 90's in the US and Canada they were called Vanagon's.
February 4, 200620 yr oh thats a combi van over here i think and i believe that they made a "ute" aswell. thanks for clearing that up
February 5, 200620 yr oh thats a combi van over here i think and i believe that they made a "ute" aswell. thanks for clearing that up Yep "ute" as you call it was a double cab (carry-all/pick-up) here in the states and they are VERY RARE and a good example is worth $$$$$$!!
February 6, 200620 yr "Snotrocket" was his handle but he changed it to something else and I cant remember what. Do believe he changed his handle to NUG.
August 23, 200619 yr Yep. You need to fabricate a ton of stuff. I recommend getting a mig welder and getting acquainted with it intimately.

August 26, 200619 yr Did you know vanagon made awd models? There is a shop in P.A that does nothing but the conversion.They even have stickers they put on them that says vanaru.
