Engine Swap Question


Hey Everyone :)

	Well, the deal fell through on selling my 66 so I've decided to drive
it for a bit...onl;y thing is that it doesn't run all that
great...doesn't run bad, but not nearly as well as my 72 (which has a
new motor and carb)  So I'm thinking about 12v-ing the 66 and putting my
new motor from the 72...now, my question is, are the flywheels different
like they are on beetles and busses 6v/12v and if so, can you just
unbolt and swap the flywheels like you can on them??  Another question
is...I know that the rear engine mounting is different, it appears that
the 72 motor has the little tube that comes out of the fan housing...is
that the same??  If not, will the fan housing from the 66 bolt to the 72
motor??  I'd be using the elec. fuel pump I have on the 72...I don't
want to do anything to the 66 that would make it not easily changed back
to original in case I ever want to do that someday...
Thanks in advance
mikey
