Dude this is actually a great video. It's right to thr point without any bullshit. It's awesome you showed the throttle line so we know to disconnect it. Extremely helpful vid and pretty good quality too! Right to the point. Thanks!

Although it was difficult to watch with the audio and camera issues, I really appreciate that you took the leap and recorded this. I've gotta go remove the engine in my own 71 bus in a few minutes, and getting to see where all the bolts are etc (the manuals just tell you but never show you properly) makes me a little less nervous. Thanks a lot, I'm gonna check out what other videos you've posted later.

Thank you for making this video. I need to take the engine out of my bus and it really helps. Which jack setup do you think works best? Can you recommend one? Also do I need an electric impact wrench or is it not totally necessary?

@westygarage6608 3 жыл бұрын

I use a low profile 1.5 ton jack but I would recommend a full size floor jack for sure. I have a lowered bug as well so the low profile works for me. As for the impact you don’t need one but on certain parts it makes life easier. The mustache bar mounts are kind of a pain to get off without it. I’d say lots of pb blaster.

What engine did you put in ?

@davidmartin1369 2 жыл бұрын

I have a 1971 transporter that has VERY sloppy shifter. do you have a video on how to fix this?

@westygarage6608 2 жыл бұрын

I do not unfortunately, but mine had the same issue and I went in and replaced all the shifter bushings. Although for the one toward the back you need to remove the transmission so it’s kind of a pain

Can you put a Bug engine in a van? Will the rear engine mount be attachable to the bug engine?

@devynkopulos1058 3 жыл бұрын

Any bus past 68 has a mustache bar so you cannot put a beetle motor in unless you have the same mounting points

@@devynkopulos1058 correct, although they do sell an adapter that bolts on I believe to accept the mustache bar.
