Hi Keith, Russ, et al,

The guy who wrote the T4 Upright Conversion
Manual,(How to fit a T4 engine into a T1 with an
upright fan shroud AND thermostat set up), Joe Cali,
is a friend of mine.  He runs a 2.0L stock T4 (out of
a 914),  in his '74 Bug.  I'll ask him what he did to
make the crank/pilot bearing/flywheel fit and work
together.  I'll post his answer to the list.

Cheers,
