WTB: Used tranny bell housing
You will have a problem with a type1 bellhousing and 76 and up 228mm flywheels.
If you want to start a Vanagon engine on the stand, you will need a 210mm or 215mm bus flywheel. I just saw a bellhousing FS on the Samba. "Mike Rocket J.

Wrong. He will have a problem with a 228 clutch attached to the 228 flywheel, not the flywheel itselves.... J. > > > "Mike Rocket J.
