[T3] type IV engine in a type III

[Matthew_Russell@ziba.com]

hey all, i just wanted to gather some input. i recently acquired an extra 
type IV engine that was originally in a 914, by the engine number i have 
found it to be a 1.7, early 70's (earlier than '74)...nothing special but 
it has potential (i hope).

i was originally thinking that i would rebuild it and use it in my bus 
when the time comes....but there are a few things about this engine that i 
don't particularly like the idea of it being in my bus. first of all the 
dipstick is in the worst placement ever for a bus, as it is in the top...

so, i was wondering about the potential to drop it into a type III. the 
only thing that i can see is the way that the cooling tin pulls in cool 
air from the bellows, if this was adapted to fit to the type IV it would 
work just peachy right? are there any other concerns i have missed?
