Hi Pianobrooks, welcome to The Samba.
I'd say your best bet would be to ditch the motor and look for another one locally to install or rebuild.
Taking a chance on that motor could lead to a ton of lost money and time.
Here's a suggestion. You could buy another rig and use the motor and parts to fix up your 84 westy. Here's an 85 1.9L on Vashon that may be a good deal: http://...

I would be concerned about effectiveness of a driving light mounted that low. Fog lights are best when mounted very low, but a driving light is better up high so it can cast a
long beam.
Also, I would be very worried about damage from debris.
No matter your choice, you will definitly need to run a dedicated cicuit with it's own relay. The stock system isn't adequate for the stock ...

I don't know if my plan is even close to what your thinking but here goes. First off mine is an 85 GL sunroof. I wanted to set it up for some short camping trips. So first thing I did was install a Z-bed, the full width one. Next thing I am working on is a kitchen of sorts. I have a sink with all the needed plumbing and a 2 burner stove. I intend to build a single wooden structure that ...

I like them! I am suprised no one else has commented. Find out their load limits when you call, from what I've heard a lot of the 5 star type rims crack under a

Yes there is one. It is a short leed off of the positive cable with a rubber fuse holder and two leeds off of that.
Have Fun,

I think Carfax can protect you from some fraud. However, a clean Carfax is
no guarantee.
