If you've got the money and space, I'd go for the whole unit. I THINK the IRS subframe is a dropin replacement for the early swing axle subframe, but I've never done this switch. I'm pretty sure that there are people on this list who have, however. If you do this, you HAVE to switch to a late case with the rear mount crossbar. For this you MUST weld in the hanger brackets from the late body. Again, I'm pretty sure there's someone on the list who has done this. If this all sounds like too much to switch, I'd just buy the engine. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
