[T3] Engine Swap; more dumb questions...


O.K., So I'll strip the T-1 engine to the short block & put my T-III 
stuff on it. This WILL work, right?.....but what about A) the hanger 
factor; how do I tell if the ( non-original ) engine in my Beetle has a 
" universal case " with out pulling it ? can the case be machined to 
accept the bolts ? B) what do I do about the oil filler? ( just having 
trouble visualizing...) For the record the T-III is a very clean ( 
especially in the rust belt)'71 Squareback, manual tranny. I am a poor  
part-time working schmuck, which is why I'm looking for a solution that 
will use parts I already  have, as opposed to " the right way".( ie; 
towing it to a shop with a blank check....must be nice) Unless anyone 
wants to trade a " project" '66 Type I for some parts & labor... Erich
