There's much less time there if the heaters aren't hooked up, but there are still a lot of wires and hoses that the beetle didn't have. And don't forget to support the rear of the transmission when you pull the engine from an IRS car. Those transmissions are only supported at the front, so they need help when the engine comes out. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
