83 diesel into 84 Vanagon
Any advice on this conversion would be appreciated.

I have replaced the oil pump and oil pan and would like to test the motor
before installation.
1) Is there a fuel cutoff solenoid? where? Does 12V+ open it?

2) Proposed test procedure: engine mated to diesel vanagon bellhousing,
Rabbitt tranny & starter, 12V, fuel supply  - any other connections or steps
needed?

When installing into vanagon:
3) How can you tell the 82 from the 83 engine carriers - it appears we may
have one set of each?
4) Is there a preference, 82 over 83?
 Any modifications needed? tranny, engine mounts etc?
5) Besides the starter and alternator what electrical connections are
required, is there a convenient wire (ignition/coil) that can be used for a
fuel cutoff  if present?
6) Glow plug - I plan to install a dash mounted push button.

Thanks.........JoE & Paul
