[Vwdiesel] Rabbit engine in a vanagon

[Chuck Carnohan]

Yep, the blocks are the same.  Hope that the engine is a later '81 or
'82 as they are a bit improved for head bolts.  The early '81 engine had
a tendency to crack the block when torqing the head down.  You can tell
by at the head bolts.  If they are a allen wrench type it is the early
engine.  If it has a star type socket it is the later engine.  Be sure
and get a Bentley manual before you get started!
