How similar are the current Vanagon power trains to the old VW air-cooled
stuff.  Can a Vanagon engine be put on a bug?  How about a Vanagon diesel
engine?  Do the latest water-cooled cylinders fit on an old block?  Can
a Vanagon five-speed be installed in a bug?  Are the cylinders of the diesel
separate from the block like in an old engine?  Could an old engine be turned
into a diesel by installing new Vanagon parts?  Please elaborate.
