Hey guys. I'm busy fitting a 2L golf motor in a 2.1 Caravelle. The problem I'm having is hight under the engine cover as the carb is to high. Anyone with suggestions?

You have to get the extended cover used on the 5 cyl busses for the intake/carb to clear if you fit the Golf motor . VW still sold them new (about a year ago) or get one from your local scrappy they are just spot welded on and you use your existing lid.
