You don't have to go all crazy with the EFI like I did, I'm a little special...short bus special :hillbilly:

type 4 motors fit right in a t3, 200mm conversion FW, bus header, 72-74 bus heat exhangers if you want to keep heat, or heater delete pipes, and a 411/412 air duct w/ some simple modifications. You can easily modify a bus engine hanger to use the t3 rear engine mounts and some shortened idf mani's and you'll be good to go.
