You won't be able to hear it from the driver's seat, but it should be pretty obvious if you do it from the engine compartment. > The engine is coming out of the '73 to go in the '70.

If you want to put the '73 engine in the '70 car with the '70 FI, then I recommend that you put the '70 dipstick pipe, breather box and air cleaner onto the late engine when you do the swap. You'll want to cork the breather tubes on the late engine when you do this. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
