Flywheel, clutch, Pressure plate, pistons, dizzy, heads, intake system, engine tin, are all different from a VW bus. you can run the bus heads and pistons and you'll have a 67hp Porsche 914 2.0L engine. The bus 2.0L actually uses the 914 2.0 crank and rods to get the added stroke as Porsche came up with the idea first and VW then used it in the bus later on. Lots of the type4 engine parts are useable from each other.

The crank and rods are the same, the cam & lifters, and pushrods, the sump plate, the fan hub, the oil cooler, and a lot of small parts. The Cap'n
